Clutch question

[zieg85]

Never actually seen it done however the ones I have had done hasn't looked like they were done like that, the finish was not like a rotor.

I'm not sure what is normally done but it could be done on a surface grinder or engine lathe in no time flat.  Any machine shop, even one that doesn't do engine work, should be able to surface it.

I talked to a guy at checker and he said they send them out to be surfaced, and its costs 40 bucks.

If you do deceide to use the old pressure plate, mark it as to where it came off of the flywheel so you can put it back in the original location.

If using a reman cover with a resurfaced flywheel, then marking it is not necessary.

My advice is to never mix a new/reman pressure plate without machining the flywheel. Likewise, putting a unresurfaced pressure plate on a resurfaced flywheel is asking for trouble as well.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Any machine shop with a blanchard grinder, or a surface grinder can do it. A buddy of mine has done a couple of mine on a bridgeport. Everyone told me that it wouldn't work, that it would chatter. the guy that owns the bridgeport said, eh they are full of crap. he was right. they worked perfectly. I have also seen them done on a brake lathe, that also worked just fine.
