In the shop manual, they state that the maximum depth of the cut for refacing a flywheel is 0.045 "

However I can't find any reference as to what the thickness is of an uncut flywheel.

My flywheel originally measured at .955"
After resurfacing it is now at .940"

Is this within tolerance or not?

Regards,

Kirk

I really don't see this as a problem.

Ditto, don't worry, it does not become an issue. You won't cut more than what final clutch adjustment compensates for.

Not an issue with single plane flywheels.
