Clutch cover

Talen · 10-21-2009, 07:07 PM

Cant find torque values for the actual clutch cover, anyone know if there is one?

Also can I use this gasket maker to seal it?

I have just put them better than snug(using cross pattern)
and I have never used that stuff, always used a gasket..

I thought they didnt make a gasket for an f4i?

yes, u can use the gasket maker stuff. I use t-handle wrench to tighten those bolts down and not much torque is necessary.

There are torque values! I know when I did mine there are numbers 1 to 4 next to four of the bolts, and they are meant to be torqued first, in that order. I don't remember what the torque setting was, but i do remember it was the same as the clutch springs.... when I get home ill check my F4i manual..

That gasket sealer is fine. there no actual gasket there normally.

If its the same as the spring then its 1.2kgs or 9lb per ft

I believe its 8 ftlb for the cover bolts

but just make them snug, like a spark plug. No need to use a torque wrench on them. Just tighten in a criss cross pattern, and don't tighten one bolt all the way without the others being snug.. Snug them all up good, then 'torque' them all down

Also when using the gasket maker, put a really thin amount on, REAL thin, then put the cover on, but don't tighten it down.. let the sealant dry for 30-120 minutes then tighten the cover down

edit: and for anyone wondering, a f4i doesn't use a gasket for the clutch, stator, or oil pan. They just use the honda sealant
I've always used just cheap high temp red RVT sealant, never had a problem

what has a gasket? the stator?

the oil pan and clutch cover definitely don't have a gasket on all the f4i's I've worked on
I even think the manual says to use honda bond to install the oil pan and clutch cover on my 02 f4i
