VQ35DE - Can't seem to find the figure anywhere...help is appreciated.

 

I read 63 in/lbs....

 

Not to go off topic completly but, I was told my oil leak I have had for a while is from my oil pan seal. The shop quoted me about $1,000 and said they have to pull the motor. This immediatly sounded suspect, and now I am convinced they don't know whats going on if you guys are just dropping the pan from the bottom. or an I mistaken???

 

Well there's an upper and lower oil pan. It can leak from a lot of different places. have them show you exactly where it's leaking on a parts diagram.

 

Which pan were you asking tq specs for, upper or lower??

 

I was asking for lower. I just took off an ARC oil pan and need to reinstall my stock one.

 

I just called Nissan and the guy said that the tq spec for the lower oil pan is 9in/lbs.... I can't remember for sure what they are when I did mine. Sorry

 

ARC oil pan , what are you doing with it???

 

Sold it to a local member.

 

Finally found it 78in/lb

 

Sorry about the bad info I gave you.....F'in Nissan derelicts. I feel like going up to Nissan tomorrow and smacking the guy who told me 9

 

just about all the M6 bolts (10mm head) have an 80 in-lb torque rating on this engine.

 

missing 3 bolts, can I use any M6 bolts the same length w/o issue?

 

yes.....but you may want to add a washer or lock washer uner the bolt head. also, I have found that advance auto parts has similar bolts to the factory bolts....bolts with a nice flange molded into it. they are even gold in color, like the stockers.
