no the flywheel stripped out. like those threaded holes, where you put bolts in to secure the PP. Fucking aluminum FTL. Spec is 33ft lbs + 60deg. I got to 33 ft lbs on all, then went to go back around to 60deg em and on the first one i got to 45 it started to feel easier. set the wrench back to 33, and it wouldn’t even click :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm threw clutch and flywheel across room. I am not happy. ---

I really don’t think it was the wrench. It worked fine immediately after on the trans front cover??? I think those threads were fucked from the word go. ---

I am not happy. OHH! Wow that sucks, well at least it only means a new flywheel, as I said, my crank stripped, was my fault… There was a little thin spacer and when I was doing the 5 speed swap no one specified whether or not it needed to be used on the flywheel like it was with the flexplate, and well yea, tapping the crank was not a good time. Whenever I torque my PP to the flywheel I feel like its still loose as I could get it tighter by hand as it only calls for 22FT Lbs ---

i was reading on the interweb and came across this "I just use 33 then estimate the 60 degrees. I set the torque wrench at 50 and they all click after the 60 degree estimate. Fly wheel is 63." ---

Unless the pressure plate bolts are huge, 33 ft/lb on it’s own, (that’s not to mention the extra 60 degrees), sounds like far too much. Why would the pressure plate bolts be TTY fasteners anyway? Hmm… ---

Nah, you’re not retarded and I know you can read a manual, but 33ft/lb plus 60 degrees sounds like an awful lot for a PP bolt. Take a look at this tq table man… [http://www.raskcycle.com/techtip/webdoc14.html](http://www.raskcycle.com/techtip/webdoc14.html) They gotta be 3/8"s at the most? If they are 3/8"s, the 33 ft/lb would of been enough. I point the finger at Ford! ---
