Is this clutch steel gummed up?

[BigNorm]

First time checking out steels. Is this one gummed up? It looks like it.

Looks like it's been way over heated.

Thanks. I cleaned them up.

Should be kinda shiny,and dull .Not black

I'm wondering if the type of oil helped contribute to it other than my own stupidity. It looks like the oil literally burnt onto the plates. I sanded them off so they look like clean steel again.

Problem is if they've been overheated, to safely reuse them you'd them need to anneal them. As cheap as steels are, get some new ones.

They weren't blue. But you are probably right. I'm working on a real slim budget and I really want to get out and ride this thing... responsibly this time.
