Hi,

I'm looking into replacing the oil pan on my 2005 Civic DX 5-speed sedan. There's a bracket bolted to the transmission that runs under the pan, which I believe is the engine stiffener. Unfortunately I can't find the torque specs for those bolts in the service manual. My copy is from '02, so I guess the stiffener was added to this car at some time between the '02 and '05 model years. If anyone can point me in the direction of those specs, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks!

Find the specs of other bolts of the same diameter and thread pitch, use that as a general guide.

Bolt diameter, not socket/wrench size or diameter

Actually I found it. It's there in one section but not in another, which is odd. Anyways, you were right, the torque specs were exactly the same as the other bolts of the same size and thread pitch that threaded into the engine block. Thanks! A common sense idea that I just hadn't thought of...
