Okay, I researched the factory Ford specs and this is as the torque specs were stated in an original '66 factory repair manual: Flywheel Bolts: 75-85 ft/lbs Pressure Plate Bolts: 23-28 ft/lbs Bellhousing to Block Bolts: 40-50 ft/lbs Clutch Pedal Free Play Adjustment Nut: 10-15 ft/lbs...

SPS makes bolts up to 300,000 PSI, but that only matters if the joint you are bolting requires that kind of yield because if a normal bolt is not tightened to within (approximately) 60 or 80% of its UTS (Ultimate Tensile Strength), or just shy of the yield strength (the point where the metal...

I do know that the last time I installed ARP pressure plate and flywheel bolts, the instructions said specifically not to use oil or put a lubricant on the threads. See the above EDITED post for the information I just found regarding the factory bolt specs. The information I found said 35...

You bet, not a problem. Sorry it became a debate. I would follow ARP's suggestion that should have been included with the bolts (in the past they have been on a small white piece of paper folded under the bolts on the card). If you have lost it, just give them a call. Some bolts require...

Not really...that is unless the job requires abnormal procedures such as brake components left to rust themselves together and ball joints that are nearly falling out of the upper control arms...then there are the occasional 4 or 5-day brake and chassis jobs. *personal anecdote* My procedures...

After having my eyes opened to the fastener industry and some of its problems and the dubious practices of a number of the fastener manufacturers and suppliers, I have very serious doubts about the quality of fasteners when I don't know their source and I'm certainly not going to trust someone...

That's a good point. But if you call ARP and ask nicely, they will tell you they just came out with the proper sized pressure plate bolts in a Honda application ;) Ryan

Unless you are going to use a wide clearance on your bearings, do not use a high volume oil pump. Regular volume pumps in stock clearanced motors are good to a solid 6500+ RPM. High volume units in stock clearanced motors will at the very least rob the motor of power. At the worst they will blow...

You will need to have the machine work done to the motor so they can size the engine and the parts together...the kicker...they need the pistons, rings and bearings to machine the bores and crank correctly. If a machinist is willing to machine the bores without the piston/ring set up, find a new...

It's good you decided to use appropriate fasteners. It's better to be safe than sorry because a spun up flywheel or pressure plate coming loose or shattering will act just like a buzz saw or heavy grenade shrapnel (respectively). To each their own, but for me, it is always safety first. Ryan

One of the leading engineering minds in all of automobile racing would tend to disagree with you (if he were still alive), at least his remaining words do. See my above response regarding the use of Ford bolts on Hewland transaxle ring gears. As well, it has been my experience that the Ford...

Well, considering Carroll Smith was a well known and highly sought after racing engineer and worked in Formula One, and he preferred, without question, the use of the Ford place bolts, which he specifically specified for his flywheels and ring gears in that class of racing states otherwise. Even...

Actually, that's not true. Standard SAE graded bolts are counterfieted over seas and sold here in the states having not been made to SAE specs. ARP and Ford have higher standards for their bolts. Their bolts are also specially designed for there specific taskes, which in the case of pressure...
