Torque Specs
Hey all, I got a B18B1 for my hatch, as well as a transmission for it (not already together)
I was wondering what the torque specs were for mounting the flywheel to the crank, the pressure plate, as well as the torque for the bolts that hold the transmission TO the motor itself, and what else is needed to attach it all together? (I read somewhere I need to buy "Honda Bond" to seal up the trans to the block, is this right? or will hightemp RTV be the same thing?)

You dont need to seal the trans to the block. I guess it wouldn't be an entirely bad idea if you used some silicone or something. Dont use caulk lol.
The torque specs for the flywheel are 76lbs. The clutch cover torque is 18. My wrench only goes down to 25lbs. So that's what I use. No big.
You may want to add about 2-3lbs anyway to account for some stretching that occurs in the bolts....unles you're using new bolts.
Make sure the dowel pins in the trans/motor are in the right place. Every dowel hole needs ONE dowel pin. Not two, not zero.

Picture of what the dowel holes/pins look like?
I know there were ones between the head and block, same kinda thing to ensure its lined up perfectly?
*edit*
Anyone know where I can by a B-series clutch alignment tool cheap?

lol i'd have to take apart my trans to show you pics.
yeah it's the same principle. You'll see it. Look on the block or the trans. There will be roughly a 14mm diameter hole that goes into the casting about 1/4 inch, IIRC. It's a dead end hole...meaning it has no threads and does not go all the way thru the casting.
There are hollow steel dowel pins that go into those holes to ensure correct alignment.
