To my knowledge without testing No, before surfacing they visually appear as blued or other color irregularly shaped spots and sometimes cracks. After surfacing the surface may appear fresh and normal but can be very irregular to a friction surface (clutch material). Most clutch manufacturers typically recommend a new flywheel for the above reason.


So to be clear, the flywheel could have hard spots due to overheating that resurfacing can hide. I guess I should pull that back apart and look at the flywheel now after driving the car around for almost a year this way. It may tell me something now where it wouldn't before. The car had been sitting for quite some time and may have been shaking on the previous owner.
