well, after being told they were not reusable, i went ahead and shelled out 6 bucks a bolt

whats the torque specs on those?

and transmission housing?


last question...i broke the bracket from the trans to the motor...the new one is 5 days away through the dealer...

how necessary is this bracket, and will i survive a few days without it? i wont be beating on the car, as im going to properly break in the clutch (any tips on this procedure will be appreciated BTW)

You didn't say which motor

If you're talking about the flywheel cover on the bottom next to the oil pan, then yes you can go without it. If you have just a plate and the brackets, you'll make it 5 days.

Can't help you on torques. Somewhere around 72ft*lbs for the flywheel, 65 f*lbs for the big bolts (17mm+19mm socket), 45ft*lbs for the 14mm heads

You can reuuse the flywheel bolts if they are in good shape, use thread lock though.

 

75-80 for flywheel bolts. I've never used Locktite, but have seen many come loose on other builds/clutch jobs.

Make sure flywheel and crank are clean before install.

 

Loctite with alum. flywheels due to expansion rates.
