fjmuurling 65 Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 What is the tightening torque for the clutch housing to engine bolts? The only figure I could find in the manuals is 41 Nm for the 2 bolts which go into the sump. Quote Esprit Freak Link to post Share on other sites
Vulcan Grey 251 Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 I can't find the numbers either, looked in my paper 1992 manual for the SE, and the later '93+ manual. Since they are bolts into cast aluminum, you can't torque them too much. I would say 41Nm (30lbf-ft) would be good, 47nm is probably max.

fjmuurling 65 Posted July 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Thx Travis for the info, I will use 41 Nm as used for the 2 bolts which go into the sump (= also cast aluminium). Quote Esprit Freak Link to post Share on other sites
