Just use factory specs for application if you want and add loctite to converter bolts. I think most folks just tighten the crap out of them! If I recall most bell bolts are about 35-40 and the converter to flex is around 35-45 dependent on size and number.

Thanks for the replies. I did a bit of reading and went with 25 ft/lbs for the bell to the engine and tightened the hell out of the convertor to flexplate bolts.
