Had to replace the oil pump on my 402. Does anyone know the torque reading for the bolt that holds the oil pump? thanks for any help.

65 on small and large v8, tighten first to half that to do it evenly or risk breaking pump ear.

Fast, Not sure I follow you on the tighten evenly. There is only one bolt? Are we talking the same thing? 65# seems like a lot.

oops, book is wrong, still 65 though, i knew there was one, just a habit to go word for word out of book sometimes

good luck
