Hi all, How much should I have taken off my flywheel when I have it skimmed?
Thanks,
Chris

As little as possible to clean it up, if it needs a fair chunk off, then the relief will want machining too to keep the preload the same on the pressure plate.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

I had to have mine skimmed a few years back, the clutch went again scoring the fly wheel and they couldnt skim it again as there is only so much you can take off. |

To clean up the clutch face, make sure that they are going to surface grind it as opposed to turning it on a lathe. In use you can get very hard spots on the flywheel, especially if the clutch is slipped a lot. When trying to skim the face on a lathe the tool jumps over the high spots, so you don't realy achieve much. This only applies to the face, a lathe will be ok for the rest of the work, lightening etc.________________________________________ E reg 205GTI non sunroof maybe for sale m.o.t'd ideal rally, trackday car, also have 6 engine and box available |
