How tight should the fluid pan bolts be?

[AugustneverEnds]

I dropped my auto transmission fluid pan to install a new filter (thanks again Michael) and I can't remember what the bolts should be torqued to. I ordered DPI's silicone gasket a year ago and they told me what to torque to just don't remember what they said now :dunno: Anybody??

Page G:02:02 Item #1. For the filter use Item # 2 for a torque.

Those torque specs are for a paper gasket. Might rip or tear a silicone one.

Rubber valve cover gaskets for example take less torque than cork (you will split a rubber gasket if you tighten it too much).
