My flywheel is grooved and needs to be machined.
-Does anyone know the minimum thickness of the flywheel surface where the clutch disc mates?
-the thickness I get using my cheap calipers is 4mm thickness on the face.
-what is the minimum thickness after a machine shop cuts the face?

The image is actually specifically for the 914-6. There are no official specs for the 914-4 flywheels that I know of.

The specs should be OK as a general guide, but they are not actually for the four-cylinder flywheels...

I did a ton of research trying to track down the specks to see if I needed a new flywheel when I changed out the clutch, and couldn't find anything but the pic you posted, but am confident that it's wrong. I finally just bought a new flywheel (from Pelican, IIRC), and although I can't remember what the specks of the new one were, I know they didn't match what's shown in the diagram.
