Planning to reseal a Toyota oil pan using Toyota black FIPG made for oil pans. Steel oil pan, cast iron block. I'm currently planning on the following process but am open to advice:
- Clean mating surfaces, wipe with IP alcohol and allow to dry
- Apply FIPG on oil pan in a single bead as per Toyota FSM instructions, going around the inner side of the bolt holes
- Assemble immediately
- Working from center outward in a spiral, bring all bolts to finger tight and then up to final 9 ft-lb torque in a couple steps (like 3, 6, 9 ft-lb)
- Allow min 24hr before filling with oil
Some folks suggest an additional step. After installing the oil pan and bringing bolts to finger tight they suggest to wait some period of time like 30min or 1 hr and then bring bolts to full torque. The Toyota FSM doesn't mention this so I don't plan to do it but perhaps it's still a good idea.
Any other suggestions?
