Josh go to the how to's and check out the tourk specs

I got those specs but didn't see what would those bolts be called

Are you talking about the four 5/16" bolts that secure the pressure plate/spring assembly to the clutch hub? If so, you should be safe at 18-20 ft lbs. I have the bandit clutch and the shoulder bolts get torqued to 25 ft lbs. I believe the stock bolts are supposed to be grade 5 so the 18-20 ft pounds will be fine. Remember to use lock-tight on the threads.

:iagree: The Service Manual calls for 20, but I put 25 with lots of red locite.

Josh, I went ahead and copied all the pages out of my manual and scanned them and created a "How to" for all of us to use.
No where in the manual that I could find does it state how tight those pivot bolts (that's what the manual calls them) should be. But on the top of page 4-5 it states that they are 5/16 gd 5 bolts. In the back of the manual under "References" it has a torque guide and it states all gd 5 bolts should be 19 lbs. But if I was you I would use the recommendation submitted by Baker as stated above.
Have fun
