I have several flywheels and pressure plates. I would like to end up with one good, balanced set. Some are more rusty than others so I would start with the ones in the best condition. I have several questions.
One local machine shop said they can recondition flywheels but they don’t have the critical measurements. There has been some discussion here on the proper thicknesses when reconditioning FWs. Is there a consensus now on what those measurements are? I think the concern is about clearance issues with the clutch disk and flywheel bolts. Does it make sense to recondition PPs? If yes, would a soak in kerosene or Evaporust be appropriate to remove rust? If yes, are there critical measurements/thicknesses? What are they? Any additional guidance would also be appreciated. Thank you |
