I would say it was a much better way to check it, I would say the best possible scenario would be a granite surface plate and height gauge On that note, the best place to take a flywheel is definately Red Rooster on Lyndale in Bloomington. I just went up there to have this one redone and told them what all Kath had said, they were highly amused. At any rate, they checked it with a depth mic and as expected it was off by a couple thousanths still. They told me they can hold it to .0005" so they obviously don't have the same issues. I have never had a problem with a flywheel from them, we just tried Kath since they were closer.

I talked to the machine shop manager at Kath, he seemed very reasonable to deal with, he said he would call me back with details of their efforts to make this right, I will let you know how it comes out. But definately from now on, Dave or Rick at Red Rooster do know what they are doing and still charge $35 and have it done in an hour or so usually.
