Rusty Flywheel

Hello Folks,

After my engine was marooned at the local gas station all Summer (don't ask), 
I am finally getting it back together. I dug out the flywheel and it has a 
nasty layer of rust on the side that faces the clutch. There may be some 
light pitting beneath the rust. Is this something I can just clean up with 
emery cloth or should I get it resurfaced at a machine shop. I'm concerned 
about resurfacing for fear it might cause problems with clutch engagement.

TIA,

Tom Burke
