What am I supposed to torque the pressure plate bolt to and also the flywheel bolts?. I am installing a CF DF clutch in my car. Also noticed that who ever put the last clutch in did not install the pilot bearing correct, I pulled the clutch off and the pilot bearing fell out. Doesn't it get hammered lightly into the back of the crank?.

The pilot bearing will sit flush with the surface of the block if I recall...

I torque my pressure plate bolts to 24 ft. lbs on the 5.0L flywheel...
