Torque settings for aluminum flywheels?
I just got my Clutchmasters stage 1 clutch and aluminum flywheel today, installing it tomorrow. I'm wondering if I should use the factory torque settings for the flywheel bolts, even though it's an aluminum flywheel?
Also the flywheel came with new allen-head bolts and lock washers (instead of 12-pt bolts) to be used for the pressure plate. Should I use those or stay with the original 12-pt bolts?

Well I have a Helms manual too, but I'm just wondering if I should use the same torque specs on the CM aluminum flywheel as I would on the stock steel flywheel?

Alright cool.... guess I need to go buy a 6mm allen socket driver so I can use my torque wrench with it.

I dint think you need to use it on the pressure plate bolts but if you do don't get any of that stuff on ony of the friction surfaces.
