I have the disc and pressure plate being rebuilt now. The flywheel teeth have some pretty knarled edges. The local Carquest machine shop said they could probably pull the flywheel ring and flip it to expose the other side teeth. Will this work or is there a difference in the teeth from outside edge to inside edge? | | |

I see Chevs of the 40's has a 139 tooth ring but I did not count the rings before I gave it to the machine shop. I guess I could go back to the shop Monday and count the teeth. | | |

just use as little heat as you can to put it back on, you don't want it red if you can avoid it.
You may need a little heat to take it off too. | | |

You'll notice this if you have one place where the starter won't engage. About a third of the time it stops on that spot and you have to turn the engine by hand a little to get it to engage.
That being said, have the machine shop mark where the bad spots are before removal and move them about 60 degrees when installing. | | |
