resurface flywheel?

- Tue Oct 16, 2007 2:15 am #26603 If I take a flywheel/clutch/pressure plate combo from one motor and put it on a different motor, do I need to have the flywheel resurfaced? (yes I will be replacing the pilot bearing & release bearing)

i say do not do anything to it. Just inspect the flywheel to see if it has abnormal wear and hotspots or anything. If it looks good, just slap it in. :)

That and the rubber mounts are the only hold up right now :woot:
