I'll believe it when I see it. I am leaning that way though.
Hey, I got that repair book. It doesn't have any diagrams but has instructions and for the torque for those pan bolts it lists the torque for the two different size bolts. one type of bolt it has 80 and the other says 18.
So I'm assuming the 80 means inch pounds so 12 divided into 80 is 6.66 ft lbs.
The 18 I'm assuming is 18 ft lbs which kind of surprised me because they bolt isn't that much bigger than the regular pan bolts.
Does that sound right though? You already found the regular bolt torque which is basically 7 ft lbs so that is verified.
It will give the sequence if bolts. If not, start with the lower left, to right top, then jump back and forth as you go around the circle. Hand tighten first, then tighten to torque specs in the same sequence.
Ok. one mechanic that was telling how to do it said that after he gets it installed he runs the engine for 5 minutes and then shuts it off and re-torques the bolts. Do you think that's a good idea?
Well even smithlabs does something right every once in a while.

It IS happening, so hang on it will be a wild ride!

I'm getting ready to post some more on this defection.
Glad you got the book! It should tell you the range in; ft pounds, or inch pounds, or oz inches.
The diagram is a treasure, and I am glad you have it! There will be a torque definition in chapter one.
:)>yeah I was real disappointed that this book doesn't have a diagram.
