not as easy as it seems
I also show my method for restoring old bolts for reuse.

thanks.
I got to do another this week, I am waiting for parts on a few projects.
got a number of things queued up - half done.
Supply chain issues, and shipping delays are really quite a pain

Hi! I'm getting ready to do my oil pan gasket. What is the torque spec for the oil pan bolts?

[@AlexPlatacis]

Pretty sure it is 6ftlbs.
I did not specifically torque mine. They are pretty small bolts, and you definitely don't want break them. Extracting a broken one would likely require removal of the engine to get access
