I have a 1968 Volvo 142s with a B20 Engine that I'm swapping a m40 into yada yada yada.
I looked in both the Green book and the Haynes manual and I only found the torque spec for the flywheel being 36-40 foot pounds. Is this right? Also what are the torque specs for the pressure plate, clutch housing, driveshaft bolts, transmission mount, cross member, and any other important ones. Is thread locker recommended for any of the bolts. I don't believe the Haynes book talks about it. Also I was told to use a small amount of grease on the heads of the bolts in order to get an accurate torque speck. Bs or not? Also if I do grease specifically the flywheel bolts will I risk it getting on my clutch assembly? Lastly how should I torque bolts that I can't reach with the wrench. Is tight enough ok or do I have to find like come crows foot wrenches or something.
