I am going to be putting the new clutch on my WD45 . Is there any torque settings for the flywheel bolts? The shop manual doesn't list anything.

Help is much appreciated!

For the diesel they say 95 to 105

Mine is gas. Sorry I didn't clarify.

I figured that.
I would think the diesel specs would be pretty close to the gas if not the same.
I can't count the number of engines I built by just getting them good and tight without knowing what torque they were at.
After you get them evenly snug go around again with a small 1/2 breaker bar.
You should be fine.

The gas is lower, it's either 65 or 85 can't remember for sure, and my book is out in the shop.

Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.

My service manual for WD45 gas flywheel says,
lockwashers and capscrews, tighten to 50 ft. lbs.
