Installing new clutch

[e30 335i]

i have an e30 with a m30 and just ordered a new clutch kit for it. i removed the flywheel and had it machined today and also bought new high tensile bolts for the flywheel. just wondering if anyone knows the torque settings for the flywheel bolts and pressure plate bolts?also guibo torque specs please

is it 85ft/lb for flywheel bolts and 19ft/lb for pressure plate?

also are there meant to be any washers on the flywheel bolts?


all help greatly appreciated.:)

I don't have a reference handy at the moment, but those torque numbers sound about right. There are no washers under the flywheel bolts, but you do need to use thread sealant on those bolts (blue Locktite works). The pressure plate bolts need wave washers.

thanks for that jlevie :), i have been searching for the torque specs above everywhere but cannot find them.

The specs are in the Bentley manual, but mine isn't handy right now.
