I'm planning on re sealing my oil pan and valve cover. I have a few questions as I can't seem to find definitive answers for the AHU / 1Z more threads about mk4's or above.
1) Does the oil pan need additional rtv along with the new rubber gasket?
2) What is the pattern and torque spec for oil pan bolts (inside to outer corners direction or opposite)?
3) Does the engine need to be lifted at all to get the oil pan off the car?
4) Does the valve cover rubber gasket need any additional rtv and what are its torque specs?
Really appreciate any info you guys are able to answer. I really need to get myself a bentley or haynes manual one of these days. Thanks!
