I have a flywheel off of the 2.0 that I am rebuilding and it has been machined down approx. 3.2mm from what I measure on other flywheels I have off of 1.8 engines.

The step down to the clutch surface was machined the same amount but I was curious if there are any concerns with using a flywheel that has been machined this much?

One issue I did experience when I was dismantling the engine is you can't get a socket around the bolts that hold the clutch on, so i was considerinf using a cap (allen) bolt.

There should be a significant step down here. It looks completely gone. If so, that flywheel is long past dead. You would have a hard time getting the clutch to release because the throwout arm will hit the transmission case before the clutch fully disengages. They flywheels are all the same (aside from balance) so use one of the other flywheels you have.

Thanks

I appreciate the response.

if you decide to use it, remember to put a shim under the ball that the clutch arm pivots on. i put my trans in and forgot to add a washer. had to pull the trans back out.

Thanks for the info. All very useful.

I just fought the same battle. A resurfaced flywheel I had measured 8.5 mm on the step down from tooth ring to pressure plate surface, old was 7mm. New has recessed bolt heads when attaching the pressure plate, the old did not. When installed the fork travelled approx 1.5" or so before contact and the clutch would not disengage with the fork hitting the tranny case. The resurfaced flywheel is headed to the scrap pile...

i'll take it.... if i pay for shipping????
