Torque converter to flywheel bolt torque spec question ?
The factory service manual says torque bolts to 45lbs. ft. on flywheel and converter cover bolts to 89lbs. ft. Is that right ? it seems backwards, Does any one know.

The converter only has three bolts and there is some VERY serious power going through them. I would NOT just snug them up. I would use loctite.
There are also more bolts on the flexplate, then the converter. Hence the reason why the specs probably seem backwards. Not to mention the size difference.
