I'm gonna put this out there because its becoming more common.
CAT is supplying flywheels that require new (shorter) bolts to be used. If they are installed with long bolts, the flywheel won't torque down or the bolts protrude and do bad things.

If you resurface the flywheel you also need to use shorter bolts.

Why?

It will have clutch issues. Might have just been thinner washers and thinner head bolts.

It will do stupid things like fret the crank, wear the outside of the frictions, heat check the flywheel and intermediate plate.
