Torque - flywheel & pressure plate installation

[Sean-og]

Installing my flywheel/clutch/pressure plate on the 2.3l Duratec today, and realized I'm not sure of the recommended torque values. A Google search turned up a post on the Focus Fanatics forum with this for the flywheel:
"Torque bolts in sequence to 83 lb-ft (112 N-m)."

...and this for the pressure plate:
"Tighten pressure plate bolts two (2) turns at a time in sequence and torque to 21 lb-ft (29 N-m)."

I'm estimating those figures to be valid, but I'm apprehensive... Help much appreciated!

edit: Also, should copper-based lubricant or threadlocker be used on either of these sets of bolts?
edit2: Sent an e-mail to Ammo. He ought to know, but he's out until January 2nd. Damn, was hoping to get this done today.

Attached is the Torque sheet for the Duratec I received from Raceline. They show the flywheel bolts at 85 lb-ft and the pressure plate at 22 lb-ft. For the life of me though I can't remember if I lubed the threads or used threadlocker. I would have done whatever the ARP instructions indicated. Hopefully someone else on here knows the answer.

Well, through further searching, I have answered my own questions. Torque values above are correct, and use threadlocker. Thank you all for playing - here's Johnny to tell you what you've won.

edit: Thanks John. Looks like we posted right about the same time. The "Here's Johnny to tell you what you've won" was not in reference to you (I can't type anywhere near that fast, even using both of my typin' fingers), but it is a bizarre coincidence.

Got the flywheel bolts out of the bag today, ready to install, and there is some red stuff on about the first inch of threads. Now I'm apprehensive about applying Loctite to these threads until I find out what the red stuff is and if applying threadlocker on it is necessary, optional, or maybe harmful. :confused:

Double damn!


edit: Posted on Blatchat and got a reply - it is a thread sealer used to prevent oil from seeping past the threads and onto the clutch. Game on!
