OK, installed the oil pan! Getting silicone on the back rear is not easy. You'll need to clean the rear edge (I used brake kleen and sprayed the length of it, then apply the silicone the best way you can -- try and get the length of the back and corners -- do be careful around the oil cooler ports).
Once that was ready, I install one long bolt in the passenger side in the rear (I left one bolt on the drivers side front so this would 'settle' the pan) and then install the pan bolts -- just start them all first. Once all of them were started good, I put the second long bolt in and snugged all of them up -- then installed the 2 bell housing bolts from the transmission into the oil pan and then torqued them:
9 ft. lbs for these (the long oil pan bolts -- 2):
18 ft lbs for the oil pan bolts:
37 ft lbs for the transmission to oil pan bolts:
Installed the driver's side flywheel shield (tighten snuggly only):
Oil Pan is ready -- I'll let it sit overnight to cure....
Make sure to put the two bolts in the front for the timing chain cover before you go any further...
Cleaned it up with brake kleen and will do the DOD Delete next!
