asap please. just put a new oil pan filter on and need the torque sequence asap if possible.

 

I used a haynes manual from auto zone. Maybe they have a website you can see right quick. Be careful because I cracked mine and had to go track down another.

 

screw it, im just guna start with the transmission bolts, then start from the middle of the pan and work my way out.

 

I would start on the center bolts and work your way out, just like doing a oil pan.. Should be gtg..

 

I think it's a two step torqing sequence. Be sure not to tighten too much on the first go round. I wanna say final torque is like 18-22ft lbs but I'm not sure. Might want someone else to chime in.
The skinny long bolts are less.

thanks guys. i just started from the center and made an X all the way out. i used the elbow torque wrench. feel where it bottoms out and give one extra little umph. the truck is all back together but still waiting on a cam so the entire front end is still missing but i did drop the pan and check out the bottom end. looks like its ready for another 100,000 miles of rough riding:nunchuk1:

 

how long does it take to change the oil pan gasket stew? lol

 

after a few phone calls for pointers from you, dinner and a few beer breaks almost 4 hous. thats including pressure washing and drying the pan. it will be ALOT easier next time. its one of those first time takes forever and next time takes 1/2 the time mods haha. it was my first time jacking with the oil pan with the motor installed.

thanks for the help!

 

They dont get better than Carlos when it comes to this,thats for damn sure
