B20 Oil Pan
 

Does anyone know the torque specs for the oil pan on a B20 from a first gen crv?

not sure on the actual SPEC, but on my oil pans, ALL OF THEM, I just run a bead of RTV on top and bottom of the gasket, then putthe pan on not tight at all. I'm talking like 1/4" ratchet tight. Let it sit for a day so the RTV can kick, then tighten them a bit. I've yet to have an oil pan leak on me.

8.7ft lb or 104 in lb...


I'd use a new gasket and clean everything ver good upon install. I wouldn't use any silicon. I've had trouble with it leaking with rtv and some blue type of rtv.
If your clean it well and torque in the right sequence your GOOD..:clap: GL
