Ok after searching World, Club and PP it seams the oil cooler (4-cyl. 2.0) is anywhere from “tight”, 5 ft-lbs, 11 ft-lbs and even 18 ft-lbs.
I changed my seals (engine is out), put the washers on the proper order, and it will torque to about 9 ft-lbs maybe and after that just keeps squashing the seal. Haynes book says not to squash the seal (I guess the hole closes up and restricts the oil flow). |

Engine's going back in soon and I'm just trying to avoid any hang-ups. |

That's the explanation I needed. Thanks Chris! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
