One thing that cleaned up my engine nicely was putting a ZZP header on it.

I have always had a rule, that something that takes a lot of work to get to, gets replaced if it’s at questionable.Well . . . i decided to go back into the garage for some more action. Got the transmission pulled apart from the engine.
The only thing I saw was the sleeve of the throw-out bearing is in poor shape. Might need to go ahead and replace that.
Looks pretty good. How thick is your clutch plate? 5mm = worn, 8mm= new.So, I took off the clutch and flywheel and they look . . . . really good. Here are pics to give you guys a look. The only thing I question is that the surface on the pressure plate is grooved/ribbed . . . almost like it was machined that way. Is that correct?
In the end, I'll probably end up keeping the flywheel but maybe replace the clutch plate and pressure plate . .
I have never seen grooved pressure plate? I googled it and did not find any references. The surfaces that engage the clutch plate should be smooth and clean.So, I took off the clutch and flywheel and they look . . . . really good. Here are pics to give you guys a look.

looks like someone tried to resurface it... poorlyI have never seen grooved pressure plate? I googled it and did not find any references. The surfaces that engage the clutch plate should be smooth and clean.
My pressure plate looks just like yours. My flywheel also has grooves in it. Just don’t have a good pic.

reuse themThoughts on the reusing the flywheel bolts? ZZP sells them for $55 ($7/bolt!) I'd like to spend that elsewhere if I can.
Pretty much this. ^^The oil is from the valve cover leaking because that bolt was loose. If all of that was in there before you would have probably noticed a misfire. Put a new valve cover gasket in.
