G'day all

The gearbox is out of the GQ and the thrust bearing, spigot bearing, rear engine seal and rear gearbox seal have all been replaced. The clutch plate is OK and good for many more k's and does not need replacing.

The problem is that the flywheel is out of round by 2mm and also has two severe scuff marks on it. The workshop manual says replace flywheel if it is out by 0.1mm

A new flywheel is $575.55 ex Adelaide or Melbourne. I am however, taking the flywheel to an engineering shop in a neighbouring town, first thing in the morning, to see if they could face the drive plate to a smaller tolerance.

Has anyone had experience with this sort of problem? If so how did you remedy it without resorting to buying a new flywheel.
