Couple questions about upper oil pan replacement
1) Since all the piping going to and from the oil pump needed to be removed, does the oil pump need to be primed or can I just fill it back up with oil when I'm done and start the engine?
2) Does anyone have the torque specs on the upper and lower oil pan bolts?
TIA
Mike

Maybe this might help....
- Locate oil pan in position immediately, and tighten all bolts securing oil pan to cylinder block to 5 Nm initially.
- Tighten bolts securing oil pan to transmission to 45 Nm.
- Tighten bolts securing oil pan to cylinder block in diagonal sequence in 2 stages; tighten to 10 Nm when tightening second time.
- Tighten M10 bolts securing oil pan to cylinder block to 45 Nm.
- Clean both sealing surfaces for lower section of oil pan; ensure that they are free of oil and grease.
Note:
Do not use any adhesive or sealant.
- Install new gasket on lower section of oil pan and install on upper section of oil pan with two diagonally opposite bolts.
- Tighten all securing bolts hand-tight.
- Tighten bolts to 10 Nm with torque wrench, working from center outward.
- Install new seal on oil drain plug and tighten to 30 Nm.
Notes:
When installing the upper section of the oil pan with the engine removed from the vehicle, ensure that the oil pan is positioned flush with the cylinder block at the flywheel end.
The sealant must be left to dry for about 30 minutes after installing the oil pan before engine oil can be put in.
