Well, I was hoping my FSM would show up yesterday. It didn't. Maybe today???

Anyhow I want to get the oil pan on tonight. Can anyone tell me what the torque spec is for the rear main seal cap?

I have always done the pan bolts to about 15-20 lbs. depending on gasket squish.

Thanks guys,

Chris E.

I don't have the torque specs handy, but here is some other good info from Doug: REAR MAIN SEAL INSTALLATION

30 ft-lbs on the seal retainer and 200 in-lbs on the pan bolts according to the 62' FSM. I would expect later models to be similar.

Growing older is unavoidable but growing up is strictly optional.

Muchos gracias! Yeah I would imagine they would be close to the same. So 200 in lbs works out to 16-17 foot pounds. At least I was in the neighborhood there.

Thanks again. I appreciate it!
