I cant find the torque for the oil cooler mount to the case anywhere. I know that the cooler to the mount is 5 foot lbs, but what about the 3 13mm nuts that mount to the case?

Looked everywhere in my books .. found "do not over torque, you might squish the gaskets and render them useless".

I torqued them to "tight". But not lug nut tight maybe 18lbs HOPEFULLY it will be ok.

14-21 Ft-lbs is general spec for 8mm threads.
