Which leads us to today. Here is a note to avoid haste in such an endeavor as this. I've made all the electrical connections, attached and checked all of the CIS lines and hoses and sanded/cleaned/repainted the last pieces of engine tin.
So I go to attach said clutch. And I don't instantly see the torque value for pressure plate bolts. I am directed to the 101 projects book for clutch install. Please note that one of my generous supporters has sent me a .pdf of the 911 SC manual with all of these values. I don't use that of course I gloss through the wrong spot somewhere else and proceed to try and torque bolts down to 3+ times their end value. In doing so I strip one out and then break off 2 more. I've been told that the flywheel is probably fine and these bolts murder themselves well before it will. I'll find that out later this week.
So that's my don't be a dumbass note for the day, when you are tired and just want a little more done, stop. Take a break and keep doing it the RIGHT way checking things before $^&#*^$ them up!
