There are 3 bolts on the oil pick up tube inside the engine.

One has a hex head the other two are regular 10mm bolts.

Im trying to find the Tq values for them...anyone?

Jim bailey - 928 International

all remaining nuts and bolts ... M6 8+2 NM , M8 20+2 NM , M10 40+5 NM

Tony

thats what i was thinking as well...but some of the descriptions in the TQ values pages are kind of tough to figure out what they are talking about.

they are stamped 8.8

20nm then

thanks Jim

Tony, 8.8 is the bolt spec., 10 mm hex head are M6 so 8 + 2 Nm

Jim M.

So, you flipped it with the heads installed. Are you getting help to get it upright again?

How did the crack repair come out?

What does the "+ x" variable mean on the tq spec. I know its been covered before, I just don't recall.
Quick answer?

Mitch Johnson

Same as +/- but no minus in the spec. think of it (8 + 2) in this case as 9 +/- 1

Tony

Im going to leave the engine as is and am actaully goinig to turn the car upside down to reinstall it Jim, it will probably be easier

Yeah, i will get some help and use a long cheater bar on the handle. I greased up the rotation point on the stand really well. Shoudlnt be to bad.

The crack repair came out well as far as i can see. I think i added pics to my post on the whole thing. I dremeled a groove along the crack, ran a whole can of brake clean through it until the liquid came out clean on the other side...masked it all off...added JB weld, forcing it down into the crack itself. I got it to oooze slightly out the other side which was good to see.

I think it will be fine. Structurally Im not worreid at all, i just dont want ANY leaks under this car any more...Im sick of them. I just installed Rog's stud kit and silicone pan gasket Now i see my oil pressure sender was also leaking.... So now its apart and being cleaned up...amzing the caked oil that gets inside them after all this time.
