Anyone know the torque spec for the 3/8" bolts that hold the pressure plate to the flywheel? Should they have locktite or are the lock washers sufficient?? 62 bn7
Thanks Br2
 
Hi BR2, Try 30 Lb Ft--Keoke
 
Thanks Keoke. I did finally find it in my book and it calls for 600 inch pounds which I guess is 25 ft lbs but 30 actually sounds better to me.
 
Yep I WAS WRONG. The flywheel to the crank is 600 inch pounds and the pressure plate was 300. Whats really bad is I had to pull the transmmission and clutch just to bend the clips over on the fly wheel bolts. When I torqued them the first time I started trial fitting the clutch and transmission and intended to take it back apart and bend the tabs. Well I forgot and put the engine in the car..
oh well it wasn't to difficult since there is no interior and the car was already raised.
