Default Oil Pan and Oil Pickup Torque specs

Important questions here guys, what is the torqueing order and torque specs of the oil pan on a 98 Ls1? Also I removed the oil pickup while the oil pan was off to prevent damage. It connects in two places, one on the center main cap (wintage tray bolt), and the other up into the block as seen in the picture below. I will be putting this back on tomorrow afternoon, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks, could you elaborate? The pickup tube nut is 106 inch pounds? The oil pan bolts are 106 inch pounds as well? Then the bolt that attaches the pick up to the block is 18 fp? Where'd you get this info? (I'll need more of this stuff someday) Thanks for the help

I thought you said 18 fp for the bolt and 106 inch pounds for the nut. Thanks for the document, but nowhere does it mention the oil pickup. Thanks for the help

^Nomenclature issue.

This file calls the pickup bolt an "Oil pump screen to oil pump bolt".

The other info in post #2 is also correct.
