Title: torque amount for case and oil pan bolts? gasket question...
Post by: se7enty7 on November 04, 2004, 05:03:35 PM
anyone have the torque for the case cover (the generator side) and oil pan?

Do I need any gasket sealent; or will just the paper gasket be enough?


Thanks!

The side cases don't need to be torqued. If you want to, I would use about 8.5ft lbs.
The oil pan gets around 9.5ft lbs.
I would use sealer on the oil pan gasket (both sides).
On the side cases, I just use sealer on the case only. That way it can be pulled off without damaging the gasket.
WARNING!! you'll notice a groove along the edge of the flywheel case.
This is where oil passes through for the counterbalancer bearing.
MAKE SURE YOU DON'T PLUG IT WITH SEALER!!!!!!!
The clutch side case has the channel just below the crankshaft seal.
