I think it may even be more as I was in total shock and may have missed part of what he said . I'll report back if its different that that.
Check to see what his hourly rate is.
Most engine machinists have a list of common services with rates attached.
I’m no machinist, but I can’t see chucking up a flywheel and taking a couple thousandths off taking more than an hour.

So I spoke with him again and it "turns" out that the resurface was 180 but, there was addl cleaning for the bolt holes that was another 80.
I said jeez I should have asked before I committed. Then he said well what do you think is fair then. I explained its on me for not asking. He then said just pay me 225. @bobm just what you said.

Guy is 83. Super nice and appreciated the gesture for a cup of coffee. His guys do nice work.
What?!?
What flywheel was it?
I had a 2F flywheel surfaced last summer for the H55 swap, I believe it was $60.
Depends on if they got to chase the old lady around a little bit the night before...Sometime the Old Timers just throw a number if there in bad mood more $$ good mood less $$. Seen it a million times. Piss em off even more
Is that a 3=spd/1F flywheel?
Yeah, the step adds another factor.
It looks beautiful. You probably won't need another look at that anytime soon...
And when She's caught she says you sticking
me with that Rusty Old thang tilI get a tetnus
