No, I replaced the flywheel already.

EDIT: long version is I pulled my engine last year and decided it was time to replace the clutch, PP and flywheel I’d installed probably 8 or so years ago when I converted the car from an auto to manual. I’d taken the car to a shop (big mistake) to fix a botched transmission rebuild and at some point they did something to cause the old clutch setup to chatter. I was better off walking away than trying to fight with them on the chatter issue. I just dealt with it until I pulled the engine last year.

So, at that time, I replaced the items above and still have some chatter issues. I didn’t think I needed to have the new flywheel surfaced but I’m hoping not doing so is at least a contributor to the chatter so I’m pulling the trans again, replacing the clutch kit and having the flywheel resurfaced at an attempt to stop the chatter. When I bought the last clutch kit I didn’t realize I’d gotten a 10.5” nor have I noticed much difference but I thought I’d ask opinions on the 11” vs 10.5”
