torque specs

Hi i have a 1989 f250 351w zf 5 speed...i was wondering if you guys could tell me the torque specs for the flywheel bolts and the bolts for the pressure plate. If anyone knows it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Jason

Tq for press plate-to-flywheel:
10"disc: 15-20 ft-lbs
11"disc: 20-29 ft-lbs
12"disc 15-20 ft-lbs

Flywheel for a V8 engine
75-85 ft-lbs in cross-pattern

thanks, glad to help.....is the centerforce clutch any stiffer on the pedal than the stock clutch? can you tell that it's holding that much more?

the pedal isnt any stiffer but seems to engage a little sooner because of the higher tension on the pressure plate...as for the holding...oh yea! it basically like grabs gears now...if you're in a hurry to go somewhere it will definately get you there! and i got a p.p. with the optional weights that spread the p.p. fingers out (the more rpm the harder it clamps down on the clutch disc) its definately a noticeable and very welcomed change (i got the centerforce 2 package) i only took it for a local testdrive today but already im very impressed with the results!
