[DeTomaso] Torque specs for the pressure plate / new pilot install

[Joseph F. Byrd, Jr.]

Just my curiousity;

as for installing the pilot bearing.  Would there be a desired press fit?
And thus the crank female fit be reamed/honed to match the bearing?

As for the torques; would the flywheel bolts be 7/16-20 and the pressure
plate bolts 5/16-18?

Just need a refresh on torque specs for the pressure plate.  I think it's 35
lbs., but don't recall.  I know the fly is 80 lbs.

Test fitting the new pilot after struggles removing the old indicate this
one will be every bit as tight a fit.  While not planning to remove it any
time soon, is there anything I ought/could do to reduce it's resistance in
the future?

Thanks all
