As you are probably aware, the pucks look REALLY thin. They mic out at .143 from the factory. This is a guess, but I think I remember the guys at Rockland Standard saying that they are good to .107
Take a mic to your pucks (The whole disc thickness, not just the puck)
then call Rockland and ask what they think. I'm not sure if you can surface the flywheel though.

AmericanHP, I actually found your old post on the clutches about 2 hours ago and mic'ed the disks and found them at .140 - so they are fine... Glad you chimed in again though, nice to see you remember! 
I'm scared to reassemble the clutch with the plate surfaces looking so abused.. I dont feel any real pits in the metal though, looks like its just mostly surface - clutch only has a few thousand miles on it... now my stock clutch... completely wasted.

I left a message at 10pm last night for exedy and on my way to work at 8am they called. I spoke to the rep for about 15 minutes and he answered all of my questions, I was really appreciative of that. I was VERY happy with their customer service and certainly thought they did their best, he gave me part numbers and local distributors, gave me the factory tolerances of the clutch disks, and gave me the prices of replacements. Also, we talked about premature failures people have spoke about, and he went into depth to explain the twins have no problems whatsoever in their experience, they have only had a very very small amount of complaints which they reviewed the clutches to determine installation errors. He said the only clutches that gave them any problems are the single disk units, because corvette owners over-torque them way too often when they should be in a twin disc.
