Clutch cover bolts?

PostPost by: l10tus » Mon May 29, 2023 7:28 pm

Please remind me someone!

Do the 6 no bolts that hold the clutch cover to the flywheel use:- Plain washers, Spring washers, Loctite or Nothing? - just can't remember!

The workshop manual does show them in the exploded clutch diagram, but doesn't mention them any further.

Also torque loading for the bolts please?

Replies appreciated,
Cheers,
Phil.

Many thanks

The parts manual certainly shows a washer (# 5) and I always use a spring washer, sorry cant help with the torque but should be in the manual somewhere.

I use the orginal spring washers plus loctite. The torque is in the torque section in the front of the manual. Make sure you have the 3 dowel pins also in the flywheel that locate the clutch cover centrally. If the engine was baalanced you should also have some match marks on the cover and flywheel.
