Pressure Plate Torque for T56

I read a bunch of posts about bolting down the pressure plate. I decided that I would use 25 ft-lbs for torquing the pressure plate bolts. I chased the threads on the bolts and the flywheel first and then used red loctite. I snuck up on the torque spec watching to make sure the alignment tool stayed centered(pulling it out and putting it in periodically). I also watched to make sure gap between the pressure plate and the flywheel closed up before reaching the torque spec.

I hope this was right because that torque felt really light.

Sounds fine. I actually went a little tighter because I thought it was not enough. No problems with doing that, at least on mine.
