A difference of about 300degr C what I usually use is ample, 200degr C
will probably do as well. However prefer to have some time for
adjustment if needed. When all is clean and the ring is dropped square
on the flywheel it should just drop down in its proper place. It also
varies from car (make) to car (make).
