resurfacing act HD pressure plate and stock flywheel

[b00stinbmx]

so back in the summer i purchased a brand new act 6 puck upsprung disc and a HD pressure plate. i had the flywheel re-surfaced and the way they did it was just removed the dowel pins and flattened the whole surface. now that im doing some stuff over winter to the car i took a look at it and it does have some decent groves and hot spots. i really like this clutch so i was going to just get a new disc and have the flywheel resurfaced, but im unsure about the pressure plate. to me it seems like the measurements won;t be correct if they re-surface the pressure plate becuase now that actualy contact area is going to be higher up since the mating surface is going to stay the same on the flywheel. is this something that is actually going to harm my clutch engagement? is it it such a small ammount that it won;t matter? could really use some help on this matter guys, need to get this figured out so i can get my engine/transmission back together and back in the car for some test fitting of other goodies. thanks!

If I were in your shoes (and I am right now honestly) I would replace the whole clutch.

Have the flywheel resurfaced the right way, as in with a step. Get it done to 300zx Z32 specs. It has a small step, and that's what makes a difference in holding power.

My rb20 flywheel needed a lot of machining and the shop recommended a small spacer between the flywheel and crank.

I haven't heard of any one machining a pressure plate, the only way I could see properly fixing it is replacing the friction surface. But that would pretty much just mean a new PP.

The clutch is a wear item, Id judge how much wear it has and if it needs replacing yet. Id run it until it slips or some thing is going to fail. The flywheel wasn't helping.
