Iight. Ill do that. Thanks again. Does the same rule apply for the bolts that come out from the block. Because some of them are bolts that go in and others are just the nuts.

 

yes use a torque wrench to tighten them all. the threads are the same strength going into the block. and if you break one of them they come out the same way with a drill and retracter bit.

my old Z6 motors pan had several of those nuts/bolt come out when i removed the pan.

 

Does any part store carry the replacement bolts/nuts or do I have to get them at the dealership.

 

any local hardware store will have the bolts ya need. just take a good bolt and match the thread and bolt length. just be sure you have the right thread size... easiest way to find the right thread is take a used bolt with you and find a nut that screws onto that bolt fully and then find the right thread size bolt and length. not to tuff. its not a special bolt at all.

 

alright thanks.

 

Torque specs for the oil pan bolts/nuts is 8.7FT/LB
