he said it didn't need to be resurfaced that much..said a bit of sandpaper would work..
idk..so a resurface is in order (the surface overall looks smooth) but i dont really know flywheels and how to tell if theres wear..
and from the car it came out of. im sure it has seen some hard drivingbut its been in the car for maybe half a year or less.he finally blew the motor after having putting it in earlier this year..
I can tell just by the color that it needs to be resurfaced.
The browning is a sign that the friction material of the clutch was over heated, and burnt onto the flywheel. It is likely there is a glaze on the surface that require milling to remove.
As long as there is no blueing of the metal you should be fine. Blueing is the sign that the flywheel itself was overheated, this usually requires replacement.
