I think mine are 20-25, similar to a AN3's.


AeroVee Assembly Manual, table of torque values (Page 62 in the current revision). "Oil Pan Cover Nuts - 5 pound feet or 60 pound inches". Check it out!


Hmmm, so it does, and my GP manual says the same must be right then, thanks Joe.
I just went off how I saw John Monnett do them in the original AeroVee video, he just used a very small wrench and said "not to overtorque these nuts".
Anyway, I'll do them up to 60 when I change the oil (which is in the coming week anyway).
