I've checked the manuals and searched this site and nothing popped up...

I tightened to 12 ft. lbs. (SBC oil pan torque) and that made the new cork gasket squeeze out the sizes.

Would it be 7 ft. lbs. or something more in that range?

I'm going to have to peel the old gasket off and clean my mess up and try again with a new gasket. :-/

Thanks,
Scott
