Just had my gearbox recond and got myself a new alcon 6 paddle. My flywheel has taken some heat and I think it needs skimming. Got a quote if 40 quid to do it. been searching and it seems refacing is also an option.
Can some one explain the difference to me please.
Cheers

 

Anybody??

 

nobodys posted mate as i think they are different ways of saying the same !!!

old timers usually call it refacing , where as whippersnappers call it skimming

of course i could be wrong but i doubt it

 

both the same thing mate.

 

There is a difference between skimming and grinding. We always choose grinding as its superior for a flywheel.

 

Ok thanks guys. Just thought I'd check, thought it might of been the same.
