Pressure Plate and Clutch Disc??

[RobertKB]

In a very recent post I asked successfully about dowel pins and bellhousing removal. The reason for removal was too access the pressure plate and clutch disc thinking they could be candidates for rebuilding. Both originally made in Canada so no off-shore junk. 
 

However, whoever drove the car last must have had a very noisy clutch. The disc is down to the rivets which cut grooves in the pressure plate. Would these still be suitable candidates for a professional rebuild or is there too much damage?

My guess and its a guess mind you, is yes, but only a rebuilder will be the judge of that. Try it, what have you got to loose ?

For whatever it is worth.....direct quote from the service manual:

 

"If the pressure plate is scored or warped, it should be replaced."

 

That is a very ugly pressure plate......

Ouch, that looks bad. What does the flywheel look like?

I believe Slant six 9 1/4 pressure plates work on our engines, not the disc though.  I think your disc is salvageable as rivets are replaced during a rebuild.

Most, if not all, rebuilders will surface grind the pressure plate.  Whether yours is too deeply grooved to save, I don't know.

Flywheel actually not bad. A bit rusty on the bottom probably where mice got in the inspection plate. Ring gear is bad. I think this car had a pretty rough life at the end. It was probably driven until it died a nasty death.
