The fly wheel is not flat but has an upper surface where the pressure place bolts to and the inner lower surface where the clutch disc actually contacts. The distance between these two surfaces is supposed to be a constant- which it won't be if you just grind the inner and not the outer. Every machinist i've taken these type of flywheels to has ground the upper and lower surfaces- in the vanagon case it requires you to remove a few alignment pins. A quick look in at my desk reference (aka Bentley page 13.9 thereabouts) doesn't show this spec though. ok, back to work Matthew Pollard http://www.uidaho.edu/~poll7356 Dept. of Chemistry http://www.chem.uidaho.edu University of Idaho http://www.uidaho.edu On Thu, 19 Apr 2001, Zoran Mladen wrote: > Hi Matthew, > > Your comment confused me.
