Clutch sheave repair?

[mustard73]

Hey guys,

I recently purchased a used m8 and both clutches have some pretty good scratches in the sheaves. I'm not sure how the guy scratched them, it looks like some gravel run through it or something...

I'm not worried that they will blow apart on me, but it might eat belts...

Just wondering if its possible to machine the faces down a little or if there are any other methods of repairing the scratches in the sheave faces?

you can sand it out with 220 grit sand paper just put it on some woood and start your sled just let it idle and sand it till its smooth little dints arent a big deal

Thanks Megatron,

I'll try that on the primary.

Does anyone have any ideas for the secondary? I don't have access to a lathe to spin it while I sand and I want to make sure I don't create flat spots on the secondary.

Rig up a jig and chuck it into a drill press.

i had the same prob, My ecu was getting remapped and the dealer left a plug in the pan where clutches were after noticing my sheaves were really srachted. after some light sanding for awhile it was fine

push the secondary apart and put somthing between the two sheaves and just hand sand with 220 thats what i did on my rev
