Resurfacing
HAND SANDING
Use a fine grade sandpaper (400 grit) for polishing small imperfections. If necessary, machine the flywheel surface to remove any defects.
INSPECTION
After resurfacing, the flywheel must be within specification:
Runout
Use Radial Runout Gauge 007-0056A or equivalent to inspect the flywheel clutch surface runout (A).

Set the gauge on the flywheel clutch surface and turn the flywheel to measure runout.
Maximum runout: 0.64 mm (0.025 inch).
Finish
The finish (B) of a resurfaced fly wheel should have a finish that is 4.0-1.3 micrometer (160-52 micro-inch).
Dowel Pins
The major diameter of any dowel pin (C) must be below the flywheel surface.
Bolt Clearance
Screw pressure plate bolts (D) into flywheel by hand.

There should be no more than 1.5 mm (0.06 inch) clearance.
