Clutch pressure plate help

[ENEMYOCD]

Ok so im putting a vittos hd clutch kit also replaced all the baskets and pressure plate, the stock clutch had notches on the steeles that needed to be clocked but the vitos didnt so im sure it didnt need to be clocked, but i think i remember being told that the pressure plate had to be clocked using on of the three arrows I dont have a manual to review and did a search that turned up nothing..

ok answered my own question on that but while looking at the diagram I dont have a spacer or washer that sits behind the clutch basket. If it was there when things came off it would have found its way back the only washer is a thick washer that was between the clutch basket and the inner basket.. also i think i put the conical washer between the gear and the cluch basket on the wrong side but those parts dont move independent of each other so it shouldnt matter right? I dont want to take those apart to look cuz the bolts all have red loctite on them. So any help would be appreciated.

nevermind i corrected everything and i have everything I need except for the bolts are m6-1 fine thread correct, not coarse?

only the stock steel clutch plates have the dimple you line up with the arrow then time them 60 degrees from each other.

the stock pressure plate has and arrow on the outer edge, you align that arrow to an arrow on the clutch boss.

yes, there is a washer there behind the basket as well as between the clutch boss and basket, if you dont have one, get one.

 

clutch bolts are a fine thread.

The kit came with red and with those bolts barring a dumb ass like myself putting it together they will only be touched once every couple of years so that would make a red application blue is more for bolts you want to stay put but have plans on removing semi often... So yes red is the way to go or you end up having to repair your clutch like akheathen had to in the sticky... I got everything together and running great it was just the first time i did everything without the advice of my old roomate.

There is no need to put loctite on any of those bolts. The spring tension pushing against them will prevent them from moving if you torque things down correctly. I've never put a single bit of loctite on any of those clutch bolts on any of the engines I've ever done. Never had a single one back out. Now, I do put blue loctite on the big nut in the center of the clutch. I've had those try and back off before.
