1972 LS5 454 oil pan bolts torque value
Sirs,
I have a steady drip from my oil pan, and the bolts don't seem to be even a little bit tight. Does anyone have the published torque values for a '72 model LS5 oil pan bolts?

BBC oil pan (5/16-18 bolts) gets 160/165 in. lbs. with oil as lubricant.
BBC timing cover (1/4-20 bolts) gets 75 in. lbs. also using oil.
Thanks, Gary in N.Y.
P.S. These are G.M.'s published numbers, not mine!
