No answer from calling arp, I'm looking for torque numbers for flywheel and pressure plate.I'm hoping someone here has them.

I did 85ft/lb on the flywheel and 25ft/lb on the pressure plate. Used red loctite for both.

12-24 is factory spec For the pressure plate, and what ford racing gives you for their grade 5 bolts. I give the arp ones just a hair bit more and they’ve been good.

Arp uses a general range of torque on their fasteners depending on which grade they are, and what size.

ARPinstructions.com | Kit Instructions and Torque Values

When I assembled my engine I used the above as a guide combined with the factory specs and used best judgment. If they were within 5 ft-lbs I went with the higher number..

Except clutch bolts. I have a track record of stripping those out. I think I went 20-24 and called it a day
