Clutch question

While slowly dismantling to rebuild the engine, I found oil on the
clutch plate. Just looking at what parts need replacing so was
wondering if I could re-use the clutch later on if I cleaned it in
mineral spirits?
It looks good; no scores and seems to have plenty of "meat" left. Or is
this not worth the trouble?

To save time in the future, its really better to use a new clutch disc,
pressure plate, and release bearing. It just saves time and keeps you
from having to pull the engine in 10k miles because the clutch wore
out.

That's my opinion, I'm sure you'll hear plenty more :-)

Not worth it. Oil has wicked in to the friction material and will
surface again once it gets hot.

Throw it away. And replace that crank seal.

Don't use mineraspirts, if you can't afford a new clutch. It too has oil in
it, use brake shoe cleaner or methol hydrate both are oil free.

Thanks for all that input, guys. I'll get a new one.
Just wanted to make sure that it made sense.
