Default flywheel minimum thickness
Doing a clutch job and what a b1tch....PO stripped one bolt on the trans coupling so getting it out involved pulling the transmission back 1" and using a sawzall to cut the coupling in half=5 quality blades. anyhow after bring the flywheel down to the transmission shop to have them "resurface" it i bring it home and measure runout....almost 1/8"! 'brought it back and they confirmed that they "might" have messed up. anyhow they're recutting it. does anybody know the minimum thickness? i want to make sure everything's alright because i don't want to do this twice

Actually it is in the manual in Vol 1.- Engine. It's the same for the later 944 2.5L engines, except the 968.
