Exclamation too thin of a flywheel?

ran into a problem with the clutch/pp install. The OEM flywheel got resurfaced by a local machine shop. had some hard spots. big ones from the previous owner.

anyway the flywheel is sitting at .032 in thickness now. Is that too thin? Should i just get a new flywheel?

Please reply with any insight. thx

car is an evo ix mr 25,000. nothing major on mods.

.0032 is hardly a slice of paper. your reading the tool incorrectly.

Im really not sure. im going over 2morrow to look at it. he told me over the phone that it sits at .032 left on the flywheel. this is the first time that its been resurfaced so i really do not have a clue why they are giving me so much trouble. They said that .030 is the lowest it would go b4 it was not usable. sigh. what is the oem flywheel thickness in the first place? and why is it at .032 now? ill find out 2morrow.
