Hi guys,I?m doing a clutch change due to starter engagement making grinding noises.The starter is new from Mishimoto,I did my rear main seal upon further inspection of the crankshaft flange I noticed metal on the flange. I will post photos,I just want to know if I should resurface flange with dremel and polish or if I will be good to go as is thanks.

You have to use [IMG][/IMG] tags around the imgur links for the pictures to show up here.

That's just fretting from your flywheel bolts not being tight at some point. Make sure you use red loctite and torque them to spec and you'll be fine.
