I recently purchased an exedy clutch and Fidanzaz flywheel for my d15bvtec motor in an 89 crx. I attempted to reuse the stock bolts and they quickly stripped out..

My questions:

What is the flywheel to crankshaft torque spec?

Are bolts stamped "AT" meant for Automatics? Is this why my bolts stripped?


I purchased ARP bolts to replace the stockers and dont want to detroy those when they arrive, so I want to be sure and torque them to the proper spec.

Thanks!!!


Also, should there be any play at all in the clutch-input shaft connection?? I can put the clutch on the input of the stock DX tranny and it is very snug, on the SI tranny there is a just a slight, very slight play to it... the splines are perfect, but I dont want to cause problems...

 

hey man its 87ft- lbs annd remember to do a crisscross pattern when tightening them. just like when you put a tire on good luck

 

lol.. that explains why my bolts stripped.... genius shadetree mech (who has been a godsend so far outside of this one foul up) told me to use my impact gun to put them on... im guessing 280lb ft was a little outside of the acceptable range...


Thanks a ton!
