Are these the correct bolts for my flywheel? I'm replacing the clutch and flywheel and I want to replace the flyhwheel bolts with ARP..

Those look like them, but the flywheel should come with new ones. Be sure and follow and Ford recommended torque procedures.

Nope, it did not come with any. I know the flywheel is like 60 ft lbs and the pressure plate bolts are like 25 ft lbs.

I just have not been able to find facts that these are the correct flywheel bolts.

This is what I used, but I bought them through Tousley Ford I believe, as I wasn't sure if my new flywheel would come with them or not. It did, but I used the factory bolts anyways.

I didn't see a reason to go ARP for them. I've never come across anyone breaking a flywheel bolt. I think the clutch would go before that would happen.

Upon further inspection, those ARP bolts have a different thread pitch than the 4.6l bolts you need. They won't work.

Ok, thanks much! I found comments that the OEM's can be reused, I just always reaplced them.

Diabolical!

I've reused the OEMs twice on my car and once on a friend's. They are not torque-to-yield bolts and reusing them is no problem. (I still use a tiny dab of blue loctite just to be certain, lol.)

What about the pressure plate bolts?

I don't remember those being TTY either. The only TTY bolts I remember were the Cam phaser bolts, crank bolt, and head bolts.

Thanks, no point in buying new ones then.
