does anyone know how much i am supposed to torque down my oilpan bolts???

im in the middle of repalcing my oilpan and cant find the information anywhere!!!

 

8.7 lb/ft.
BUT, even more important is that you must get to this in 3 stages and also the correct sequence must be followed. The sequence is too complicated to post here. Best to have the Helm manual with the diagram.

 

DO NOT OVER TORQUE

I have broke 3 in the two times I have removed my pan. And that;s because I couldn't find the torque specks in the freaking manual.

 

Wow, I had no idea it was so precise!

I just cinched mine up in a criss-cross pattern like I've always done.
