          | Anyone have the specs for the step between clutch surface and pressure plate mounting? Having the flywheel cut and want to make sure the flywheel is right before I install. Thanks.

          | Whoever is grinding the flywheel should have that spec . Detroit 2-71 is common to most other Detroit flywheels using the lip . Had mine resurfaced when I went to bi-metal disc to replace fiber clutch disc . Shop knew the specs .

          | Thanks, disc is hard to find. Wanted to swap also. Shop said they would find it just wanted to check it myself when done.

          | Standard disc (fiber) is also the same as a IH L190 truck from 50's - Black Diamond Gas engine used with a 5 speed transmission

 Thank you for that useful tidbit, I took a screenshot and put it in my archives. The International L-190's with which I am familiar had Red Diamond engines.

          | Thanks for the info. Will check it out. Found some but all have springs in the center, original does not. Thinking I do not want springs. Already enough play in system.

          | Be sure to replace the pilot bearing in flywheel with sealed bearing and plug the oil wick hole if it has not already been done .
