    Yea, you are gonna want to replace that lol. It should be resurfaced if possible/replaced every time...why people seem to think it's not necessary I'm not exactly sure. Good call on the rear main too. Check your driveline angles to make sure you don't need mounts too. I won't warranty clutch jobs unless the flywheel is taken care of and a rear main is done. 90% of the time the machine shop calls me to tell me the flywheel can't be resurfaced so I pretty much prep people for having to replace it.
