Thanks for the help everyone. Engnbldr, do you know the torque setting for the oil pan nuts/bolts. I think I've seen 52 inch/lbs, but my torque wrench is in foot/lbs (0-100). Is it such a small amount that you either need a special inch/lbs torque wrench or you just snug them by hand...and are they easy to strip?


>>>*Yep, pretty easy to break those little bolts, but I never torque them, I use simple wrist pressure and a nut driver and run them up, give them a light twist to snug them and call it good.

I also agree completely on only a tiny bit of sealer on a gasket, wish I had a dime for every crankshaft we have dug sealer out of...*EB


*Beats the he** outa me!....*LOL**...
