Couple of Questions, Continued (PICS THIS TIME) Ok, so I finally got a good work around for the pressure plate bolts. Picked up some 2" long 3/8"-16 bolts from home depot for about 7 bucks. Grade 8 of course. Torqued them down to 22 lb/ft w/ loctite. Got the bell housing on.
I am going to mate the transmission up tomorrow. But just trying to figure out the size bolt I need to be looking for to mate the actual trans to the bellhousing. Also, there is a small piece of steel that seems to mount on the other side of the bell housing (forward side) thats like a cover, and I cant figure out what the bolts look like to put that back where it belongs. I took this car apart like 5 years ago and I am paying the price big time for not being more careful with labeling and such.
Pics now.
Here is the clutch installed.
I am trying to figure out what bolts go in what hole here. I have a general idea on length. But I'm trying to avoid a whole lot of trial and error.
After torquing, to 22 lb/ft, does the clearance between the flywheel and pressure plate look right here?
Just for ha-ha's. All new valve train. Springs, cam, rockers, lifters, push rods. 5 years of making $$$ and almost $7,000 later, I'm finally putting it back together.
