350F sump bolt torque
« on: August 22, 2015, 09:42:52 PM »
I've just replaced the damaged sump on my 350F 74. I've replaced the gasket etc but can't find a torque figure in the manual. I chose 12ft/lb, I bet someone on this forum will know

6-8ftlbs for those 6mm bolts. Hand tight w a short wrench is a safe option.
Wet it w oil to allow it to swell so it can be compressed.
