What Torque? - McLeod and ARP
I'm installing a McLeod "11 inch Super Street Pro" pressure plate and clutch disc with ARP hardware. The McLeod instructions indicate a 35 ft/lb torque on the 3/8" bolts while the ARP instructions for their bolts call for 45 ft/lbs. Should I use the McLeod specs or ARP's?

If you are using ARP bolts then use their torque specs with whatever lube or thread locker they recommend. When you torque a bolt you are actually stretching it almost like a spring. Different materials need different torque to get the correct stretch.
And no matter what anybody says, 10 ft lbs can make a difference. Sometimes a lot sometimes not but the point is if a fastener manufacturer gives you a torque or stretch specification that is what you need to go by.
