Torque specs for B&M tranny pan

**Gregg1LE** · 09-10-2006, 07:13 AM

I bought a used B&M aluminum deep tranny pan and was going to install it today but I have no clue as to what to torque the bolts to. I looked on thier site but no luck. Anyone know?

Also, what type of gasket sealer should I use (if any) on it?
Thanks!

I'm not sure if you have stamped or cast aluminum pan, but normally it's 7-10 lb-ft, (if it's cast you can torque higher since it wont warp) the oil level indicator bolt is 35 lb-ft and you should install a new gasket. I don't know what I did mine at (cast), but I think it was probably in the 14 lb-ft range. I didn't use any sealer except a little here and there to tack it in place so it wouldn't fall off while I worked it around the tail pipes.
