Oil pan gasket torque settings?

joyr1der · 10-29-2009

Hi

I am changing the oil pan gasket on my 1968 200 cid engine - does anyone know where I can find out how much to torque the bolts when I'm putting the oil pan back on?

Thanks for any help.

a google search for "ford 68 200 6 cyl oil pan bolt torque" yielded this...

Classic Inlines - Ford Small Inline Six Specs

It has the pan and MORE.

Torque the bolts in sequence, to 15 - 22 ft.lbs, Mike. SCT Tuner.

Hey - thanks for the help

Just wondering what the sequence is for tightening the bolts, and also where do you get this info from? Is there a shop manual you would recommend?

Boy, both my '66' and '69' shop manual show 7-9 ft-lbs for the torque rating but don't show the proper sequence. Normally start getting them all hand tightened and then work out from the center of the pan - if there is no sequence.
