I would double check you have the right pressure plate. The three things you are referring too? Are you talking aboutt he dowel pins?
Everything has to line up or else you will be missing your legs when you go drive your car for the first time. The drivetrain and suspension on cars is not something one should be ******* up on or hacking up. They are for safety first, not performance.
Max torque is 21 ft-lbs, and I use red loctite on them. DO NOT OVER TORQUE critical bolts, you essential weaken the bolt if you over torque them. They go into the plastic range of the stress strain curve. You will have short fatigue life for the bolts. If those bolts snap I don't even want to thing what will happen.
Just remember when you were installing the thing, and how heavy that pressure plate was. Well think of how much energy it would be fly out of your bell housing at 7000 rpm if the bolts failed or loosened.

So I gotten to the point where I have gotten the flywheel on good. But I ran into the problem when I was putting on the new pressure plate. Not all of the pins will line up with the pressure plate. Do i need to get a new lighten flywheel or do i need to do some type of modification. I got the competition clutch stage 4.
The pictures are two of the old one showing how its goes on really easily
The other two pictures show the new pressure plate, however, the three dial pins do not line up with the new pressure plate
