Flywheel resurfacing
I am putting on a centerforce DF this weekend and I was wondering if you can resurface the flywheel at home or should I take it to a shop?
Thanks in advance

The machine shop will resurface the flywheel on a Blanchard Grinder and will be able to hold parallelism within a few .001's ( thousandths of a inch)
Some people do not like to resurface flywheels and will replace them. It depends on the amount of horsepower and RPM's.

Make sure the pressure plate bolts don’t bottom out on that newly surfaced flywheel.

I would have the flywheel resurfaced professionally but i would also have it balanced. I had the flywheel cut on my 74 but not balanced and it caused vibration. I eventually put a new flywheel on from Pace.

I cleaned mine with brake cleaner, lightly sanded working perp to the rotation, cleaned it again then called it good. Not the best but the cheapest solution plus I knew the eng would not stay in more than a year or two.
