I have a 2 piece rear main and i was wondering how much to torque down the oil pan bolts, the rear main bolts, and the bolt that holds in the oil pump. The oil pan gasket is the expensive fel pro blue 1-piece on that comes with new bolts. Thanks

 

Does your oil pans have the stiffener rails? With stiffeners, the 1/4-20 bolts should be 10 ft/lb, and the end (5/16-18) bolts should be 14 ft/lb. Without rail stiffeners, the torque should be 7 and 12 ft/lb, respectively, to prevent rail distortion and potential leakage.

Rear main cap bolts should be 70 ft/lb.

 

i use a 1/4 ratchet on the oil pan bolts. doesn't take a lot to get them tight. i like the 1 piece oil pan gaskets way morethan the 4 piece.
