few ? before i build the top half of my motor

so i am building up my 383 while it is out of my car but have a few questions first.

A lot of guys just use a small 3 jaw puller on them. Once it pops loose it will just slide off the crank.

The stock windage tray nuts will torque to 18 ft lbs.

i have the arp stud kit so they are the arp nuts. also what about the trey in the oil pan. what should i torque them down to? and the oil pan bolts is there a conversion to make them lb lbs instead of lb in?

in lb divided by 12 --> ft lb

e.g. 120 in lb --> 10 ft lb.

bore the holes out till it fits. three jaw puller will get crank gear off. get yourself a new crank gear.

do you just push the new crank gear into place? or do you need a tool for that also? also the tray that is in the oil pan what do you torque those bolts to?
