So recently removed flywheel from 59A engine for a clean up. As per advice on this site decided against any flywheel lightening.
They just removed enough for a good surface clean up along with balancing of flywheel and clutch cover.
Initially flywheel had somebad dings and grooves etc vincity of clutch plate location so good to get rid of these. Clutch is a 10".

At refitting and tightening up the 6 locating set bolts (17 to 20 ft/lb) noted that clutch cover does not contact flywheel surface. There is approx a 2mm gap at each areaat cover to flywheelat bolts. I believe the cover should pull down and be incontact with flywheel.
Seek confirmation or advice here.
