[twsmith54]

Does anyone know the the torque specification for the oil pan bolts on a 1956 ford 312 marine interceptor? I've searched all over and come up with nothing.

does 10-12 ft lbs. sound about right?

Why did my thread get moved? I am finishing the "repair" of the engine and need a little help. Now it is in a forum with one person viewing vs the repair forum with 80 viewing. It's not a big deal, just doesn't make sense to me.

Howdy,


If it's a sheet-metal pan, 12-15 lbs is correct for a 239/256/272/292/312 Y-block.

If you want more info on Y-blocks, go to http://ford-y-block.com/ and http://www.y-blocksforever.com/forums


Cheers,

Thanks Rick, thats what we went with. It's actaully the thick cast aluminum marine style oil pan but given we are using the same cork gasket and sealant material we should be good to go. Thanks again.
