I'd guess that deeper grooving allows the frictions to sweep more oil from the steels and reduces squawking. The improvement I noticed might be from the fact that the plates have grooves once again.
It is a time consuming job considering that there are 36 grooves x 2 sides x 8 frictions = 576 grooves. Maybe I should use them for another season to justify the work.
If I get new plates, I better get a spark plug too (just to keep Mr. F5 happy).

I think I did about 2 grooves and decided it was easier to get earplugs so I couldn't hear the squealing
