Oil pump bolt torque?
What would be the recommended torque for the bolt that fastens the oil pump to the rear main? I'm sure it's not the same as a main cap. I do plan on using some locktite.

I would caution against over torqueing. The early caps are flat where the bolt goes the later caps Have a boss raised with an extra thread. I've seen the thread area pull from over tightening and I mean too big for a heli coil repair. I would stop at 55-60.
