I resurfaced my flywheel down to completely flush on my ka24e not realizing its supposed to be stepped. is it gunna make my clutch slip/not disengage by not putting a 0.004" step in it? did research and heard stories thats its totally fine, and others saying it will slip?. anyone here have experience on it? PS: my car is a single cam ka with no performance mods and probably wont ever (will just swap a whole powertrain in eventually). im very busy and work alot so itll be a bit before i can resurface again which is why im asking

Welcome to Nico!

Really depends on how much of a hassle it is. I have 3 other cars so I'd suck it up and have it redone. If it were my only car I'd probably just use it as is.

From my experience, not getting it done will cause some clutch adjusting headache and possible slippage (issues I had when i didn't have the step put in my FWD SR20DE flywheel).
