well, funny thing about the clutch,... it had the same heat blemishes as my flywheel! I wish I had taken a look after I removed it - while resurfacing the flywheel is straight forward, I suspect it's not worth trying to resurface the clutch plate too.
SO... I've put in an order for a new clutch and will try the Centerforce Dual-Friction unit. Always curious about this type of clutch so I'm giving it a whirl.
While I was on the phone, I also picked up some new "dress-up pieces"... I'm keeping this a secret until it arrives. Might be a few weeks for that to come in but from what I've seen, it'll probably be worth the wait.
So for now, the engine sit's on a dolly, with the flywheel now installed w/engine plate. Taking apart the engine stand.
