Good point... but here is the reason.. I have 3 grain stones to choose from when sending out a flywheel for resurface. This is the 2nd finest and it costs our customer $80... Brand new flywheels ... lets say a billet piece aftermarket.. are turned on a cc lathe... giving it a almost perfectly flat surface when it is made. I can have a flywheel turned on a number 1 stone .. but it becomes 10 passes on the lathe (3 on number 2 and 7 on number 1).. almost triples the cost.. $250 to customer. The 7 extra passes on the finest stone will give you a mirror finish and almost make it like new... Cost was an issue in this customers case. Anyways.. I'm sure you guys sell a billet ka flywheel for $350-$400.. which would make option 2 kind of pointless.. Hope that clarifies.
