[QUOTE="Duster, post: 454970, member: 20812"] Don't confuse "inch-lbs" and "foot-lbs." There is no oil pan on the planet that needs 105 [I]foot[/I]-pounds of torque, and precious few bolts on any part of a Jeep as far as that goes. The criss-crosss pattern of tightening the bolts down is more important with any gasketed join. 105 inch-pounds is only 8.75 foot-pounds ([URL]http://extraconversion.com/energy/inch-pounds/inch-pounds-to-foot-pounds.html[/URL]). Basically they simply need to be snug. [/QUOTE]
