Any good tips to make everything go smooth? I haven't done a FD motor before, but I work on Mercedes all day. Theres always little tips and tricks to make certain jobs easier



Flywheel is getting resurfaced tomorrow. What should the 54mm nut be torqued to?



Should I re-torque the tension bolts? How much torque?



I think I have the whole clutch release thing down. Pulling motor w/out trans. Leaving DP on motor.



Anything else?

I think teh torque is close to 300 ft/lb. So you need one of those 5 foot torque wrenches they use on diesels. I just use an impact gun. Never had a problem yet

I would'nt worry about the tension bolts
