Bolt cleaning and protection is worth the time - thanks for sharing. I am ordering the acid

Catching up with your vids/ restoration ....enjoy your style and workmanship .👍😀

[@AlexPlatacis]

thanks. I got to do another this week, I am waiting for parts on a few projects. got a number of things queued up - half done. Supply chain issues, and shipping delays are really quite a pain (in 2022 post covid during Ukraine war etc...) [Date mentioned for historical clarity]

Hi! I'm getting ready to do my oil pan gasket. What is the torque spec for the oil pan bolts?

[@AlexPlatacis]

Pretty sure it is 6ftlbs. I did not specifically torque mine. They are pretty small bolts, and you definitely don't want break them. Extracting a broken one would likely require removal of the engine to get access
