I think the first consideration should be condition of the flywheel,
and that's best determined by measuring total indicated runout at
several radii before disassembly. A flywheel that's running true,
but has a burnished surface, probably requires no reconditioning. A
flywheel with even a few waves or ripples of just a few thousandths
in it is probably going to make clutch engagement a bit more
problematic and may increase the clutch disc wear rate.<br>
<br>
The second consideration is balance. If the crank and flywheel are
to be balanced together, resurfacing is a prerequisite. If it's not
done beforehand, any future resurfacing will upset the balance, and
if it is done first, resurfacing will usually restore the assembly
to proper balance.<br>
