Any one know the correct torque for the oil pan screws? If you do, would you share that info with me?
Thanks, David

Thanks Phil. I have a PDF of the Yamaha manual, but I can't seem to find the spec for the oil pan screws.
Am I supposed to use Loctite on these screws?

Yep, all the 5mm allen head case screws are 7.2 IIRC. I wouldn't use lock tite, I've never had one fall out, not a Harley, lol.Originally posted by davidsymons53 View PostThanks Phil.

I can't remember if it's the factory service manual or the Clymer book, but one of them has a page or two with all of the proper torques listed. It also lists where Loc-Tite is recommended.
I tend to believe it's in the Clymer book and IIRC, Loc-Tite blue is recommended on the pan bolts. Please look it up before you take my word for it. I printed the page and put it where I wouldn't lose it. I can't for the life of me remember where that was.

No loc-tite needed, especially if you use RTV for the gasket. The RTV actually seeps into the bolt holes and acts as a thread-locker by accident.1980 XS850SG - Sold
