Tightening oil pan bolts Yes, I have searched and found numerous threads on this topic so don't worry, I'm not asking about torque specs.
Anyways, My oil pan has a slight leak around the rear edge. It only leaves a couple drips on the floor so I'm just going to try tightening the bolts up to maybe solve this problem. Anyways I have the following question.
In the threads I read, many asked for the torque sequence but no one ever said what it was. Some assume the typical inside to out pattern. Others said the bolts to front cover and rear first, then the inside bolts. Then others said there is no sequence and to just tighten it. Which is it? Some mentioned that if done wrong you might crack the pan etc so I don't want to do this wrong.
Thanks
