<<My flywheel is really pretty clean.  Sir Bentley says
"contact surface must be free of grooves, oil, grease
and burns."  Mine has none of those, but is alittle
more polished looking than I might like.  Any
suggestions?  Should I degloss the surface slightly
with some Emery paper.  What do you do?  I'm used to
resurfacing the flywheel as a matter of course,
because when they come out of the truck at clutch
change, they ARE scored, burned, etc.  BTW, the clutch
disc looked real good as did the pressure plate. 
Amazing after 184k miles.  I think it probably could
have lasted 30k or more.  The disc is about 1/2 the
thickness of the new one.  They are absolutely
identical down to every marking.  Thanks for the info.
