I am changing the clutch (was chattering) on my 78K '69 350/350 and noticed that the flywheel bolts have been slightly nicked by one of the springs in the disc. It (this spring) is partially torn out of it's socket and very loose. I've been told this may be from the flywheel having been cut too much combined with disc wear. I have never heard anything other than a tired throw out bearing.......Are there specs on the original thickness to check this theory ? What else might cause that ?
I would replace the flywheel anyway at this point, as I don't want to go back in there again. Another question: Does a new replacement GM or other new flywheel need to be balanced ? or at least checked ? I know the clutch should be done separately anyway.
Thanks in advance !
