Flywheel replacement??

[Tarik76]

Should this flywheel be replaced if im changing new pressure plate and clutch disk? I went over it with a grinder lightly to remove those marks on it

I would remove and have it surfaced at a good machine shop. The flywheel surface needs to be very flat and smooth. You probably made things worse by using an angle grinder on it btw. Afterwards use brake clean to clean off flywheel and pressure plate. Both need to be very clean. Or...good time to upgrade to an aluminum flywheel or lightweight steel flywheel.

100% not a good idea to just smooth it out by hand. Like the last post said, have it professionally done so that it’s perfect or you’ll get the whole thing back together and immediately have to take it all apart again, and you might F up your new pressure plate/clutch.

Big no no to do by hand. Needs to be done on a blanshard grinding machine by a machinist! minimal material removal required by the looks of your flywheel, unless you went too deep by hand.

Yea I'm gonna go ahead and take it to a machine shop and have it resurfaced.
