The Weakest Link?
Scott set the pressure plate on the crankshaft and installed the new crank bolts. If you choose to reuse the stock crank bolts, be sure to apply thread-locking compound before running them in. Scott tightened the bolts in a six-pointed star pattern to ensure even seat pressure across the plate, and he torqued the bolts down to the recommended factory settings (75 lb-ft for the new-style bolts with shoulders; the older bolts should be torqued to 55 lb-ft). Once the pressure plate was in place, Scott wiped its face with brake cleaner to remove any dirt, grit, or fingerprints.
