From the 2F FSM...note: those values for the Oil pan x Cylinder block are in inch-pounds...that's not a lot of torque...

There are a couple of really good posts out there on tips for installing the oil pan gasket...it might be in the FAQ section, I'm not sure.

This thread might give you a good lead on finding those other threads... see posts by @John McVicker :

Based on the torque values provided from the FSM in the picture above, is it a fair assumption the first number is initial torque and the second number is final torque. Example: If I’m torquing the oil pan, I first torque all fasteners to 53 inch pounds, then bring all fasteners up to 104 inch pounds?
 
This information from Georg is extremely thorough and useful, take this into consideration;

I’ve been asked countless times how we install these items so I thought it was about time I’d post a thread on here about it.
I was taught how to install these parts by a couple of people with VAST experience, one of them being none other than Mudrak.

First step is to remove the oil pan. The easiest way to do this is to remove all the bolts but one towards one of the ends at the front. Next, use a putty knife, or a very thin chisel, and working forward from the back of the engine, taking care now to gouge the engine block itself.
Then remove the remaining gasket and any...
