Increasing compression - Milling?

Grinding the flywheel

It was in real bad shape. We have to mill away where the Pressure plate bolts on to the wheel.

don't forget to turn a step for the pressure plate :D

and turn the back side down (the big chunky part), you can get it to 12-13lbs. Basically it's exactly what a 323i flywheel is.

Hey, nando, any diagrams of what to turn down on the flywheel. Replaced my clutch a while back and have lots of vibration now. Thinking that Action Auto may have effed the flywheel grinding so probably going to need to pull the tranny and flywheel anyhow. Got a m/c shop recommendation?

the big chunky part on the back. you can turn it down nearly to the ring gear. I had mine done in bellingham by a small shop.

Worrying about the flywheel being to smooth

Should I roughen it up a little? The finish is very smooth.

yeah, I don't think I have a pic of mine, but it was definitely not that smooth. it had a specific swirl pattern on it actually, like a brake disk.
