Ok, so I have the shop manual and for the life of me, I can not find where it says how to properly install the oil pan or the torque specs for the bolts on the oil pan. Can somebody help me out here, or if it is in the shop manual, what page is it on?

Thank you,
Eric

 

I don't have the Helm manual with me at the moment but there is a diagram in the manual that shows the tightening order for the oil pan bolts as well as the torque spec.

Keep looking.

 

Is the Helm manual the same as the Honda Service Manual...thats the one I have, the CD version.

But if you get a chance, or if anybody gets a chance, let me know. If it is not in what I have, is there anybody who could tell me the order and torque. I'm planning on changing the bolts out on Saturday, so that I have them for next weekend (which is track weekend).

 

The order and torque is a guide, but not a necessity like a cylinder head. Just snug them with a 1/4 drive, 10mm socket and extension. Just criss-cross as you go.

 

Ok...so kinda like lacing new shoes then...that kind of pattern, except, maybe get all the corners on then work towards the middle? I don't have the torque specs for them either...but I'll keep looking unless someone else has them.

 

Page 6-20 in the service manual.

 

THANK YOU...

I swear I searched through every engine page...but obviously not, thanks for the help!

Yeah, it wasn't really obvious that that's where it would be. Using a PDF viewer makes searching much easier.
