flywheel resurfacing?

I own a '65 F100 that was heavily abused in a previous life. I have the tranny out at the moment, and pulled the clutch for a visual inspection.

and, i should have guessed...the flywheel is discolored, and has hairline cracks in it.

i know resurfacing can take care of the discoloration...but what about the cracks?

thanks-

The cracks will simply depend on how deep they are.

When I took mine in, the guy behind the counter said, "nope, can't do it" before I even got half way from the door. He could see the cracks from there. I believe he said they couldn't be over an inch in length.

Either way though, the cost of a new one was only twice the cost of having it resurfaced. $35 vs $70. ish

Replacement flywheels are relatively cheap and easy to come by these days, unlike 15-20 years ago. Granted, many are made in china, but still.....
