I have a flywheel off of the 2.0 that I am rebuilding and it has been machined down approx. 3.2mm from what I measure on other flywheels I have off of 1.8 engines.
The step down to the clutch surface was machined the same amount but I was curious if there are any concerns with using a flywheel that has been machined this much? One issue I did experience when I was dismantling the engine is you can't get a socket around the bolts that hold the clutch on, so i was considerinf using a cap (allen) bolt.   |

There should be a significant step down here. It looks completely gone. If so, that flywheel is long past dead. You would have a hard time getting the clutch to release because the throwout arm will hit the transmission case before the clutch fully disengages. They flywheels are all the same (aside from balance) so use one of the other flywheels you have.
