Putting the clutch back together tonight and just curious about the torque specs for the pressure plate bolts.

Any help is appreciated!

If you don't have the numbers you are looking for by tomorrow, give me a call. George Anderson promised to call me with all torque speccs.

I am being monitored and tutored.

Per Mcleods Site page 27

BOLTS - 3/8" PRESSURE PLATE TO FLYWHEEL - 6 PER PAK - TORQUE TO 30-35 FT. LBS
1501 BOLTS - 5/16" PRESSURE PLATE TO FLYWHEEL - 6 PER PAK - TORQUE TO 20-25 FT. LBS
Use a small amount of Red Locktite on the threads. (my comment)

I would be a little cautious however with these values if it was an aluminum flywheel.

PS: I'll even try to help the FE guys ONCE in a while, I'll call in the favor later. Should be worth quite a bit..........7:45 on a Friday night. What do you think?

Just got my parts from George, making a note on the torque specs! Rebuild begins this weekend.
