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).

One of the manuals, I think it's the Haynes, says to put the thick washers on before the cooler, which is WRONG and will make the cooler pee oil. Put the cooler on, the washers and then the nuts.

(where's the 1st hand experience or BTDT smilie???)
