Pressure plate bolt Torque

[dmj]

For you guys running the ACT 2600 What bolts are you using for the pressure plate.? can the stock bolts be torqued to 27 ft lbs. The reason I am asking this I had purchased a stud kit for the Fidanza flywheel and one of the studs broke at 20 ft lbs while installing the clutch yesterday.

When you torque the act plate to factory spec, you will end up with tapered wear on it.

I guess I will have to buy some grade 10.9 metric bolts . I am concerned though about stripping the bolt holes in the flywheel if I torque to ACT specs of 27 ft lbs.

The factory bolts will not take 26ft/lbs. So yes you will need to get some 10.9 metric bolts. The flywheel should be fine. I have done 26ft/lbs with a aluminum flywheel and stronger bolts.
