OEM ford flexplate is supposed to show up tomorrow, so what are the torque values for installing it?

flexplate to crank?

tc to flexplate?

e4od to engine?

transmission cross-member to frame?

Thanks

Flywheel/flexplate to crank, 47 ft lbs. Just make sure the the flywheel/flexplate goes on first next to crank hub, then the large washer next, washer is a torque spreader.
TC nuts. 35 ft lb Nuts are really a one time use, old nuts, make sure they can't be screwed on all the way by hand.
Bell housing bolts, 70-80 ft lbs. 1/2" bolts.

Also recommended to replace the tc nuts. Some recommend blue loctite as well.
(I've seen 90 mentioned for the flexplate to flywheel bolts too)

Taken from my Ford service manual supplement. For a clutch flywheel , but see no reason a flex plate would not have the same torque value.

Thanks. I've seen 89 ftlbs for flexplate to crank as well.

None of fasteners are TTY so I'd assume they are ok to reuse.

I haven't seen anything for the crossmember. I know I always tried to get them tight as I could. (Wrench for backup and standard length 1/2" drive ratchet.)
