To reuse pressure plate or not to?

[Blaze4G63]

Long story short Im putting my clutch all back together after having swapped an engine and the clutch disk is almost brand new, i know this because I measured the thickness with some brand new digital calipers. Its a act 2600 and it measures 8cm so i know thats good, but the pressure plate seems to be in less then good shape. I dont know if its ok to reuse or not. Heres some pictures im going to see if its warped when i get home from work.

When in doubt replace it, pictures don't show up but by your description of it looking "not so good" I wouldn't put it back in my car.

replace it. Looks like it got a little on the hot side

Depends on the power output, if its rather weak in power id re-use it. If it has lots of ponies id get new.

Why risk having to do it all over again? Just replace it. Youll be glad u did when you dont have to pull the trans again.

And you want to talk about hp. I had a saturn sl2 maybe making 110 hp maybe. The po did his own clutch job and smashed the fingers on the pressure plate. When I bought it he gave me the old pressure plate. So I decided to use the old pressure plate with the new disk and it lasted 2 days on a nt saturn making 110 hp at best. And my pressure plate looked better then the op pressure plate dose.
