A machine shop uses a surface planer.
No, a rusted flywheel will not cause the engine not to turn over.
when you have a clutch put in you also have to replace or remove the flywheel and have it refaced to keep from messing up the new clutch, and yes the flywheel is suspose to turn when the engine is turning, so if the flywheel wasnt replaced or refaced then i would say that the flywheel is what the problem is
If the engine is froze up, the flywheel can't be turned. You can use a socket and breaker bar on the crankshaft bolt, work it back and forth in both directions and it might break loose, but I wouldn't count on it. Usually you have to take the caps off of the connecting rods in order to turn the crank.
There can be several problems if a car will not start. Does the motor turn over? That means, does the starter engage the flywheel and turn the crankshaft. It is the normal sound you hear when you first turn the key to start the car. If that isn't happening, you would look at the starter first. Make sure it is engaging the flywheel and trying to turn. Sometimes a battery with low voltage will get the starter to engage, but not enough to turn the flywheel. If the starter is good, but the flywheel does not turn, the crankshaft might be bound up. This is usually due to a bad motor. If the crankshaft turns, and it just cranks and cranks, then it's either fuel or spark. Check to make sure you have gas in the car. The fuel pump can be bad, or a fuel filter. If that's good, you have to check the spark plugs and distributor and/or coils. That is a bit tricky for a novice so it's best to have a mechanic look at it. Unless your willing to brave 40,000 volts.
sounds like the ring gear or flywheel is worn if you have a manual or stick shift put it in 2nd gear depress clutch let car roll a little release clutch (the engine will turn slightly) then try starting engine. with auto transmission you will have to turn engine over with socket and ratchet bar (if you cant turn over at the drive belt by hand) if this starts your car the flywheel will need replacing... Could also be the bendix ... the solenoid that engages the starter motor to the flywheel.

A bad flywheel can definitely cause the engine not to turn over. The flywheel has teeth. If the teeth are chipped or broken, then the starter can not engage to spin the engine over.
Don't do that too often. If the starter Bendix is not fully engaging the starter gear into the flywheel, you could be wearing the flywheel. That could be expensive. Remove the starter and inspect the flywheel. Slowly turn the flywheel by hand and inspect the entire circumference of the gear.
Turn the flywheel to BDC (bottom dead center) as you continue to turn the flywheel into the combustion stroke, it will be the first valve to move.
Pull the starter motor so you can see the flywheel. Make a chalk mark on the flywheel. Have someone turn the engine over by hand while you watch the flywheel turn one revolution. Look at the gear teeth and watch up in there for flexing and cracks and see that the bolts are all tight.
Counterclockwise as looking at it from the flywheel.
IF YOU HAVE NOTICE That when you turn the key foreward all your assy. come on. And then you have to turn it further to make the starter ingauge. So that is when the starter gear / drive contacts the flywheel.

You should be able to turn the starter with little effort when it is not engaged with the flywheel.
One of two things. Either your bendix is bad on your starter (best case) or you have a bad spot on your flywheel and the transmission has to come out. Try turning the motor by hand a quarter of a turn. if it will start after that once then your flywheel is bad. It it doesn't the it's probably the bendix. Good luck.
To turn the engine over so that it will start. The starter engages cogs on the flywheel.
the starter is bad.
