You can't resurface an aluminum flywheel, you need to buy a new steel insert for it (and possibly the screws to attach it). You can't resurface the pressure plate surface either, if you did you would loose clamping force. To rebuild the clutch you'd need to send the disk and plate to SPEC.

Send everything back to spec. Give them a call they are very helpful and will set you up at minimal cost. A buddy of mine sent is Stage 3 back and they upgraded it to a F unit. He has had zero problems since then. They did resurface the Flywheel and give him a new PP. I think it was less than $500.00
