Clutch bolt torque

[J. Salmon]

Anyone know the torque for the clutch bolts? (Holding the clutch to the flywheel).

Bolting the clutch in this weekend. Torrie McPhail of Fast Parts Network has been kind enough to supply some much needed hardware for the Ricardo box in my hotrod.

Searched to no avail... any info is greatly appreciated!

All the best

J can elaborate more...but it is a GT40 replica with a corvette ZO6 LS7 motor bolted to our Ricardo Transmission! I think his car also will weigh substantially less than our gals so should be quite the monster!!

Here is some pics from his project. The transmission should look familiar!

J, could you elaborate on the white coating on your headers? I looked at doing that for the vintage racer look, but shy'd away. What is the coating and where did you have it done? Thanks.

Man, that is cool looking! Love it!

That is from a company called Swain Tech:

It is only in white, and it is rough. I love the vintage look on this car, especially with the cross-over headers. But more important, this stuff is the real deal. It is very thick and very hard, not like Jet-hot or other ceramic type coatings. My understanding is that it is sprayed on with a special gun that moltenizes (sp?) ceramic beads and they adhere to the cool metal. It is supposed to be a much better thermal barrier. Not sure how long my piss-ant glasspacks are going to last though, so the exhaust will probably be essentially straight pipes after the first few drives :thumbsup
