Mike:
That is a whopping amount. Are you certain it was not 0.010"?
That would be a typical number to remove - your machinist would realize
that taking 0.100" off the face would mean that the clutch functionality
would be affected, so I cannot believe that is what he actually took
off.
Take some measurements of your spare flywheel and compare it to
your new one. I bet you find this is a misunderstanding and it really is
0.010".
Just my $0.000002

Subject: Flywheel question
I just got my flywheel back from the machine shop. The machinist
lightened it from 28 lbs to 20 lbs and it looks like he did a great job.
When I gave it to him I also told him to resurface the face where the
clutch contacts the flywheel. When I got it back he told me that he
took .100 (1/10th of an inch) off when he resurfaced the face. As you
know, this is a LOT. My question to the list is what effect if any will
this have on the operation of the clutch? I think I have another
flywheel and if necessary can probably dig it out of my pile of car
parts and have it redone. TIA.
