When it comes to torquing a pressure plate, the amount of torque you should use depends on the type and size of the plate. Generally speaking, most plates should be torqued between 8-12 ft/lbs. If your plate is made from stainless steel or aluminum, then you will want to use a lower torque setting. You should also factor in any additional components that may alter the required torque level such as gaskets and bolts. Additionally, when mounting multiple pressure plates together, it's generally best practice to increase your total torque incrementally for each mounting point so that even compression is ensured across all surfaces. Always refer to manufacturer specifications for specific instructions regarding your particular application before attempting installation and make sure all fasteners are properly tightened according to those instructions.
