<div style="color:black;font: 10pt arial;">If you are going to resurface the fly why not lighten it at the same time? Lightened fly on the BN7 (which now lives in southern France) and engine felt noticeably more peppy. Quick raving and all that. More responsive.

<div class="yiv7453072693gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;">Not really worth the bother ... once you have all that stuff disconnected.removed it really is little more work to lift the gearbox out entirely. <br clear="none"></span></div>
<div class="yiv7453072693gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;">A word of caution. <br clear="none"></span></div>
<div class="yiv7453072693gmail_default" style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;">After encountering clutch shudder more than once after installing a new clutch I would strongly recommend getting the flywheel resurfaced. It is an inexpensive job to have done at a competent auto machine shop and is a lot less work than pulling everything out again.</span></div>
