Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Leading evidence: 'Use true brake rotors' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'good idea' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Clean & prep the surface prior' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion
This is often done with a air tool & scothbrite pad attachment to throughly clean & prep the surface prior to final cleaning with brake cleaner.

My recent AOS/IMS/RMS and clutch plus oil change cost about $1500 in parts and $1300 in labor.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Looking for feedback on cost for some upcoming service I'm thinking about
:
L&N IMS Bearing Kit
RMS
Clutch Kit inc refacing flywheel
Air / Oil Separator bellows
Water Pump / New
Gasket / Water Pump
Coolant / Factory
T-stat, Housing & Gasket / Low Temp
Serpentine Drive Belt
Mobil One Oil
Oil Filter
Cam End Cover
Total out the door with labor is 4K.
Any thoughts? Am I missing anything?
My recent AOS/IMS/RMS and clutch plus oil change cost about $1500 in parts and $1300 in labor. I think you are getting a lot of work done for a low $ amount. Sounds good to me.
Indy or dealership?
Why "resurface" the flywheel? For all that effort & costs, I'd want (to pay for) a new one. Maybe even a LWFW.
What is your mileage? What about plugs and a brake fluid flush, too?
I don't think you can resurface the flywheel. If it's beat, you need a new one.
That's quite a bit of work so the price seems reasonable. If you need a new flywheel the price will go up by at least $800.
Actually "Dress contact surface" is how it was written in estimate. Not sure what this is exactly.
Low mileage (35k) 14 year old car
Plugs and fluid flush probably a good idea
That's funny. "Dress contact surface" is fancy-speak for "will spray liberal amounts of brake cleaner and wipe with a fresh rag". Any warped flywheels I've ever seen are replaced and not turned like a brake-rotor.
This is often done with a air tool & scothbrite pad attachment to throughly clean & prep the surface prior to final cleaning with brake cleaner. Works very well on used, true brake rotors. What you need to keep in mind regarding the flywheel is not only its current condition but it's condition until you have another chance to replace it for free labor!
I just got mine back from the spa and got :
LNE IMS retrofit
new clutch kit
rms
brake fluid flush
coolant flush
new oil filler tube
new serpentine belt
oil and filter
for $4300....sounds like yours is right on par
