Fly wheel question with pic


Recommended Posts

Pulled flywheel from siezed parts engine. Going to take too machine shop and have surfaced smoothed out .... as recommended by others prior to doing a clutch in my running wagon.

 

I noticed random slight surface fissures on flywheel/clutch wear surface. I don't believe they are very deep and seem to be just surface.. possibly do to heat etc... is this norm? My first clutch/seal change...

 

You can see them just above flash bounce on left side... problem?

Normal heating and scuffing. Just have it turned and you'll be golden.

 

The heating/cooling cycle causes the crystaline structure of the steel to change, and you get that micro-fractureing of the surface. Looks fine tho. Typical of any clutch I've ever changed.

 

Personally - I just hit it with some sandpaper and call it good. I rarely turn flywheels unless they are really fubar.
