Default Re: How many ft/lbs to torque down oil pan bolts?

Ron--do you have the factory racing oil pan?

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Todd I have the factory 10 quart oil pan in my '00. There is enough oil in the pan but now that I am starting to go, stop and turn very fast on the Hoosiers the oil sloshes around too much and sometimes not enough oil gets "picked up". I bought and installed the trap door and windage tray kit from JonB. It was a very easy install and should solve the pick up problem. I think pre '00 Vipers need a bigger oil pan, I've seen with my own two eyes a '97 GTS put 3 holes in his block at WSIR because of oil starvation.
