As for using a torque wrench on the oil pan. I never have used one and have never had problems. Just like any other oil pan, tappet cover, inspection cover, or intake on a small block Ford or Chevy, it's ALL feel. And going over the bolts several times as the gasket undergoes stress relaxation.
Right..and I torque mine down in 3 stages
