What are the Torque specs for a 2007 2.2L transmission pan,I'm referring to the 8 mm bolts

 

Check post #14 - https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/driv...n-39975/page2/

step 9: replace gasket & pan DO NOT over tighten the bolts. Use a 1/4 inch drive handle and just get them tight, (no King Kong fore arms), if you own an inch/lb torque wrench use it to spec 12 N.m or 106 lb. in. That is not much, just past "snug"!

Whopper beat me to it! And tighten in an across the pan pattern, don't tighten one then the next to the left or right!

suggestions how to torque these 8mm bolts

 

With a torgue wrench?

I'm not sure I understand the question.

 

I usually give it the.... UGH! torque. Then go all the way around and pinch down each one a degree or two more. It's in inch pounds whatever the book says. I have 2 on the road now, no issues with either. And reused the factory gasket on both. The one that comes with the filter is a crappy rubber version of the real gasket.

I would just snug them up without breaking any, you should be fine. There is an Ecotec Performance Handbook available for Free online that has all your torque specs.

@ Lucky, how is it I never noticed you're from Seville!

 

The proper torque specification is 10 Inch Pounds.

 

He already asked the question in a different thread - and it was promptly answered. This thread is merged with his first.
