I removed the oil pickup tube/screen to have the LR baffle put in the pan and add the ring around the pickup screen. Is there any seal that needs to be replaced when bolting the pickup back to the girdle? Also what torque should be used when bolting the pick up tube back on?

Never got an answer and I am now under the car. It looks like one of the bolts that i removed to get the pickup out is a girdle nut. Is this correct? I'm not too sure what torque this gets bolted back on at. I have the shop manual but it doesn't refer to a girdle. I found crabkcase upper and lower section and it says 50nm. Is that the right one?

The upper and lower sections are correct. There is a circular seal that goes in for the pickup tube.

Got the seal. Just realized the pickup is in the way of getting a torque wrench on the girlde nut. What to do??

Is there a torque spec for the one bolt on the oil pick up tube that is reachable with a torque wrench?

I forget the size of the bolt, but its either

M6: 6 + 1.5 ft-lbs

or

M8: 15 +1.5 ft-lbs

There is no specific value given in the book, so you use these values listed for 'all other screws and nuts'.
