Stuart,

I have the attitude that a new surface is a great way to introduce friction
material to the task at hand.  A light cut is all that is needed.  The
problem is finding a shop which will do the job right.  the last time I had a
flywheel surfaced, the shop owner was bragging about his new state-of-the-art
flywheel grinder.  When I indicated it, there was about .0015 " axial runout.
 That was a flywheel which suffered from surfacing because it had to be done
twice.

Also, I was always told that if the flywheel is blued from overheating, it
should be surfaced.
