KLR33 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 does any one have torque specs on this os clutch i found some specs on the os site but cant read jap n the translator is not helping in the pic below i have painted the 10 mm nut n 5mm allen key that i need the torque specs for any help would be fantastic Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/205482-os-twin-plate-torque-specs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTRNUR Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 10mm high tensile bolts, 25ft-lb, 28ft-lb max. Use some medium strength loctite on the thread and you'll be fine. The outer bolts dont carry the power your engine is making, they only need to handle the pressure of the pressure plate itself.

GTRNUR Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I didnt have any luck with the PDF... it just sat there saying buffering for 10 minutes and displayed some crap in japanese... I should be more clear with what ive said, so... asuming your talking about bolt thread diameter and not the size socket used for tightening it up... general standards for torque on bolts are: 6mm - 6-ft-lb if using normal grade 8.8 high tensile bolts. 8mm - 14ft-lb if using normal grade 8.8 high tensile bolts. If using ARP/Raceware fasteners or grade 12 bolts you could go to 18ft-lb. 10mm - 25ft-lb if normal grade 8.8 high tensile bolts. ARP/Raceware will handle 28ft-lb. Its safer to be under the torque spec than over it. Bolts are designed to stretch as things expand when they get hot. If you have tightened it too much and the bolt doesnt have any stretch left it will break. In the case of the flywheel bolts, the stresses they are under are mainly thermal expansion of the pressure plate hat. Your flywheel bolts sound right at the 108ft-lb. Though to be sure you can check that spec in any skyline or holden vl RB30 service manual as it will be the same regardless of the clutch your using.
