Default Need Torque specs for oil pan install

I can't find it anywhere. I just installed my LH8 Oil pan on my engine before it goes in the project car. What am I supposed to torque these to?

Pick up tube (O-ring side)
Pick up tube (deflector side)
Deflector
Oil pan bolts

I might have tightened them a little too much.

Thanks!

Thanks! I never knew that site existed. I also never knew the inches to pounds conversion. That doesn't seem right though. 106 in pounds is only 8 ft pounds on the baffle bolts.

I also don't see the pick up tube torque

here is the link to ft lbs to inches or vise vercia.http://www.convertunits.com/from/foo...s+pounds+force

Im not sure the exact TQ for the pick up tube. I Just tightened mine down until i felt that it was moderate tight and never had a problem with it.
