Default Clutch Cover Bolt Question (YB)

Wouldn’t mind A few quick answers to the below if anyone can help :

· What’s the clutch cover to flywheel bolt torque ?
· Should I use any standard or locking washers under the bolts ? (none were supplied)
· Should I use any thread lock ? (If so which one due to heat potentially killing the bond ?)
· Or should I actually copper slip them ? Are they prone to seizing in due to the heat cycles ?

Cheers for any help.

The clutch cover to flywheel bolts torque is 18.5-21.5Nm and you mast use locking washers. They don't need thread lock but you can if you like slightly copper slip them (but there is no drama if you don't do it because if the car is used they don't seize...).

the bolts that you need have a built in washer with teeth that grip onto the cover when you torque them up.

Balls … Someone forgot to tell burtons that when they sent me these

Do standard ford ones have the grips (and are they good enough) or should I be looking at ARP or similar ?

Cheers,

WD
