Oil Pan (bell housing) Torque Specs

I've done some searching and can't find an answer for a V8 LS3 engine, just a V6.


Does any have the full torque spec of the oil pan and also the two 15m bolts from the bell housing to the oil pan?


thanks!

Word of advice use a paint pen on those last 2 that are inch lbs. As a reminder. I got carried away torqueing 18 ft lbs when I got to those I just kept going and pop broke a bolt.

Is there a sequence to follow for the oil pan bolts?


thanks!

Worst feeling ever. Did you get it out? I left mine in if it starts to leak to bad I will try to get it. I have heard of it eventually working its way out.

Torque on the oil pan bolts isnt critical. Dont over tighten. Thats where you will find trouble. Snug them down and call it a day
