What does the 360 oil pan bolts torque to and what is the tightening sequence?
15 foot pounds!!!!!!!!!!!
Tight enough to get firm clamping force without deforming the gasket and/or oil pan flange.
And make sure you straighten the oil pan flange around the bolt holes, they are normally deformed (dished) from someone strong-arming the bolts at one time or another.
My Mopar Performance engine book says 200 in lbs. That's actually just a tad more than 15 ft lbs.
That's too much, IMHO. I could be way off base, but I like going around 8 LB FT with blue locktite. Maybe I'm crazy.
