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? |

'74, 2.0 22K miles All, 1st and 2nd sync rings were bugging me so I removed the tranny. While waiting for the gear parts (dogteeth, etc.) i took a look at the clutch. Though it was good I thought I would replace it since it was 40+ years old. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I have a new clutch, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing. I think the Flywheel is in great shape. No burn marks or grooves - just minimum wear. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) I watched the installation video on youtube and was a bit through by crankshaft play. Do I need to recalibrate the shims for this rebuild if I DO NOT replace the flywheel? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Thank you Teeners CTC911CTC |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Thank you Teeners CTC911CTC It's still good practice to measure your end play just too be sure, but if all is well you shouldn't need to change the shims on such a low mile engine. In your case if the RMS isn't leaking I'd do a quick end play check without removing the flywheel and call it good. But caveat emptor, many times when I've skipped a repair it has come back to bite me on the ass. I'd say it's a 50/50 chance. |
