Flywheel question, '74 2.0 Options

[zymurgist]

OK, when I got the flywheel out of Babydoll, I found that the inside surface where the O-ring seats was all grungy and the O-ring was trashed. I cleaned the area pretty good, especially in and around the groove where the O-ring seats. The flat surface inside this area is very rough, and I was wondering whether this would be a problem.

I posted pictures in the Saving Babydoll thread.

Is this anything that I should be worried about? I have another flywheel, but this one is in better shape (the other one needs resurfacing, the dowel pins are bent, and it needs a new pilot bearing).

just realize that the DAPO that put babydolls engine together was DOUG, not me (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

i got flywheel shims from busdepot (.com) located in PA. maybe that could save some shipping time.....

i read or recall somewhere that the pressure plate bolts are special and on the PP site listed as NLA. don't recall what's so special.....
