flywheel question how many times can a flywheel be resurfaced?
do they go bad?
dose anyone have a part # for the stock flywheel?
is it possible that the fly wheel to cause a clutch disce to go bad?
do clutchs normally last for just a 1-2 years? cause mine last me for a lil more than a year and i have to change it again. last clutch was a spec 2

I've always been told to only surface once and that's only if your still within tolerances.
Yes they can go bad. A tell tale sign is heat spotting. If there's alot of blue heat spots I've always been told to just replace it.
Yes a bent or warped, or even burnt flywheel can cause a clutch to burn up or even break in some extreme cases.
My stock clutch had 114,000 miles on it. Most of that time was while the engine was built.

Looks like from dealers you can only buy as an entire clutch assembly kit.
Price for that at my dealer is $656.
Edit. gmpartsdirect.com has the LS1 kit for $389
You'd be better off going LS7 clutch and LS2 flywheel for cheaper than that. Mine was around $450 if I remember right.
