Torque specs for oil pan
10 Feb 2015 19:08
So I was reading through my clymer manuel while doing my pan gasket on a 4 cyl 1982 kz750 and saw that I am supposed to torque the pan bolts to 90 ft lbs. Does this seem high to anybody else? I don't want to strip out the threads. Also I am using rtv copper so would that effect how much I torque it. Also small rant on cv34's The small o ring on the plastic plugs are $10 from the dealer.. Why so much for something smaller than my pinky finger.
Keep it rubber side down everyone

Probably 87 in-lbs --- That's INCH-pounds. Not foot-pounds.
Here's a link to another service manual.
mbsween.bike-night.com/kz750l3/index.html
Scroll down to the Bible, and download the manual.
Check out page 35 and also page 77.
Good Fortune!

I wish I knew what the size was. Z1 has Keihin gaskets for super cheap (under a dollar per one) but I don't know the size Oh well, will have to cough up the cash for them I guess

the next question is do I trust my 1/4 torque wrench (in-lbs) from harbor freight with these bolts? I think I will just go somewhat snug with a normal ratchet
