ok ok ok... ill be nice... (goes to bently manual)
Head to engine block
Stage 1: 30ft-lbs
stage 2: rotate 90 degrees.
*working from inside out
tighten in order like this
11:09:05:01:04:08
12:10:06:02:03:07
thats as you look at the head, if the numbers were over the bolts, tighten in order from 1 to 12

Oil Pan: 23 ft lbs

in order
10:06:02:03:07:11:12
09:05:01:04:08:13

the oil drain plug is between bolts 4 and 8
bolts 10, 9, and 12 are on the sides of the pan, and with bolt 13 at the bottom corner on the side of the drain plug.


hope this helps!
motor on!
