I got my 11lb XTD Chrom-Moly Flywheel in today..... I was glad it finally made it here but look at it...





It has spots of rust on it.... WTF? Should I be worried about this? or can I just buff it out with steel wool? or do I just leave it? I don't know much about flywheels but I would assume the contact surface should be clean...

 

are they spots of rust or just dirt.. try wiping it off with a sponge or something... mine looked perfectly fine when i got it.

 

Its rust....wont come off with a sponge and water...

 

Don't worry about it, flywheels will always rust, Park you car and don't drive it for a week then pull the flywheel out and it will be covered in rust, that rust on the friction surface will be gone in the first five minutes of driving.

 

Really? That's good to know. I was kinda worried. It looks like the rust could have pitted those spots....

 

man thats horrible, well since it's no use to you, just mail it to me... I'll pay for shipping. paypal? wink1.gif
