Good thread guys. Good ABC stuff that can easily frustrate us. I'm sure many of you will say it's feel, or just make it up until the gasket starts to ooze out a little bit, but for us less feely folks what do you think the torque settings on those oil pan bolts would be? Jeg's says 12 ft lbs for oil pan, 6 for timing cover and 3 for valve cover on an SBC. Think those are close enough for our stovebolts? I think it is easier to resist a 1/2 slab of smoked ribs that to over tighten oil pan bolts!
