Flywheel Cracks
I think I already know the answer to this but would like to confirm it. My flywheel shows lots of tiny cracks, is it possible to resurface or is it time for a new one? Any suggestions on where to get a new one if needed?

It depends on how tiny the cracks are. Check with a machinist, if you're in doubt.
Tiny cracks caused by heat stress (e.g., from a slipping clutch) usually only extend 0.002-0.003" below the surface, and in that case, you can clean them up by resurfacing.

Personally I would pull it and take it to a machine shop for a pro opinion. If you have a performance engine you could blow that sucker up and put pieces through the floor board. At the least it will need sufacing.
