Putting my 52 1/2 ton back together and the flywheel has some minor rust. One section about 2" wide is just slightly ruff even after sanding. At what point should I have it turned at a machine shop? Will it make a big difference given the power of the 235 in my truck?

Hy ADspudnut, I don't know about it making a difference given the power, but if the surface is not flat and consistant, it will definately make a difference to the life of the clutch disc, and possibly the smooth engagement of the clutch. Just the fact that you're concerned about the surface says you should have it surfaced.
