Hello Boys,
have finished running my 318 in the 69.....runs great....
I have developed an oil leak on the passenger side behind and above the oil filter....near where the tranny dust cover plate and the block meet....
I checked the security of the oil pan bolts....they seemed a bit loose, so I tightened them up....
After I ran the engine up to temp....I saw that I still had some drips of oil under the motor....
I investigated, and figured I cinch the bolts up a bit....It appeared that I had not tightened them at all....
I checked the service manual and it says to torque them to 15 lbs.....
any thoughts on this?
thanks,
Mark
