Well, my teener is sitting in my driveway with her butt in the air. I am doing a clutch job, and need more parts. So, since I'm waiting for a nice shipment from Pelican,,, anybody know of a good place to get my flywheel re-surfaced? Near L.A.? It looks like my flywheel has NEVER been surfaced. Any body have any suggestions? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I think it is like 65 to resurface. You could get it lightened and balanced while its in there too. |

If you do get it resurfaced, do get it balanced as well.
I made that mistake once and ended up with a horrable vibration. Replaced the resurfaced flywheel and all was good. Do it right, do it once. |

[/quote] Yep, like Scott said in Santa Ana. They did mine while I had lunch down the street and only charged me 25 bucks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

Wow such fast response!
I looked up RIMCO, they do seem to know what they're doing. Looks like I'll be taking a day off to bring it down to them, unless there are any closer suggestions. Any body have a favorite in the S.F. valley? I live in L.A. but drive through S.F. valley everyday coming home from work. Thanks for all the suggestions and replys. -Rob |

remember to replace your flywheel bolts while you are in there.
