I got the engine pulled yesterday and removed the clutch components.
The old disc appeared to be the original at 198K and was worn down .045" compared to the new disc.
I dropped the flywheel at the machine shop yesterday afternoon and they called this morning and said it was ready. They only had to remove .005 so I feel good about that.
Upon inspection the clutch fork was worn quite badly at the pivot point. I called Tasca this morning and ordered a new one. I wish I would have just done that when I ordered all the other parts for this project (which includes an engine swap and turbo rebuild).
Can anyone provide the torque specs for the flywheel to crankshaft bolts? 55lbs felt right but it would be good to know what it calls for.
Those pesky alan head bolts that hold the pressure plate to the flywheel were really tight and one rounded out. I was able to use a small pair of vise grips and break it loose. Six new ones are on the way with the clutch fork. Should I use loctite blue on those? Can anyone provide the torque specs for those?
Thanks,
Randy
