[TotalEclipse21]

Just as the title states I need the specs. for the 8 bolts that connects to the crank.

For the n/t?

 

[TotalEclipse21]

Yup.

 

[EDM95]

Well I look in my book and it says not specified

 

[TotalEclipse21]

Well what should I do then? Should I buzz them down with an electric wrench?

[TotalEclipse21]

Really? That little?

 

[joat09]

I will check at school for you tomorrow. Just so you can have a 2nd answer.

420A is 100lbs for flexplate/flywheel....i just got on mitchell and thats exactly what it says

 

[davidaham]

I WAS NOT SURE WHEN I PUT MINE ON SO I JUST TORQUED MINE DOWN TO 65 AND USED SOME lock tite

 

[TotalEclipse21]

Well I got back to school and it looked at Alldata and it said 135NM which is 100ft lbs. So I did that AND some lock tite. Hopefully I won't have to take it back off anytime soon.

 

[joat09]

If you're upgrading your flex plate to a flywheel, make sure your bolts are long enough to get at least 8 threads in the crankshaft!!!
I made this mistake and stripped out 2 threads in a new crankshaft :S
