While Repairing my rear main I realized my flywheel surface disk is extremely heat warped. I know aasco sells the disk seperately for $119 bu I've also heard of ppl turning their flywheels, is this possible with the replacement disk?just flip It over?

Well I would but I also thought that was a bad idea? To resurface a really thin replaceable disk? I'm just trying to see if my only option is to buy a new replacement, or if I can flip it first.

No you can't flip it as the bolt holes are countersunk! You can't resurface it either as that requires cutting the aluminum where the pp bolts to....if it's a lightweight fw then you HAVE to buy a new friction plate...only solid steel fw's can be resurfaced.

I have done that several times (not to the same friction material), make sure they machine the aluminum surface so the step is the same. DONT exceed more than .025 to be safe. If anyone knows better I am going from memory, and wont be offended if you know otherwise.

They will look at you funny if they have a grinder, and you want them to do the aluminum but it will work.
