I am installing a new pressure plate on my XK140 but can't seem to find what I should torque the bolts holding it to the flywheel. Any thoughts? Mac
 
I have looked in 6 manuals and have not found a setting. I found most flywheels on Triumphs, MGs, Fords, etc. 28-35lbs. I will look on CDs tomorrow and see if I find anything. I also looked in MK2 and XKE manuals and same no spec. I'll let you know tomorrow.
 
Mac: Looked on CDs and in more manuals, they have no specs. Did find 23Nm to 27Nm in the 5.3 V-12 manual. 17-19lbs. I would personally use loc-tite and 25lbs. That's figure thread stretch and age of flywheel and bolts.
