[Roadsters] flywheel resurface

[Brian Hollands]

My first official attack of CRS syndrome - hence my delayed response.
Thanks' to the internet to help me remember.  Rather than using oil on a
freshly machined metal part that will be stored for a time, use cosmoline.
It's a spray on rust inhibitor that cleans off easily with WD40 (although
I've had guys at parts stores swear it won't and you need to buy a cosmoline
cleaner as well)

If you keep a light coat of oil on it, that will keep it from rusting. Just
clean it off thoroughly before you install it.

I always have flywheels magnafluxed to check for cracks. It's not expensive
and it's cheap insurance.

The brake bleeders are different. I know the attachment won't come through
on the list, but Tim will see it. The front bleeder is on the left.

Description for everyone else: the front bleed screw has a flat end that
pushes up against a steel ball (like a bb). The rear bleed screw has a
pointed end and no bb.

I am going to have a spare flywheel resurfaced in anticipation of doing the
clutch on my 2000 this spring. 

Do I have to worry about it rusting or can I have it done now? Or should I
wait until right before we pull the motor?

Anything else I need to worry about or have checked on the fly wheel while
it is at the machinist?

Still looking for an answer on the bleeders.....

Thanks
