Can someone please provide me with the WIS docs or torque spec for the reverse/left threaded bolt that goes through the Crankcase breather oil separator ?
I over-torqued this bolt to about 9nm on my m273 engine..thankfully I think it’s fine. I ordered the new bolt. Should I just leave it alone, or replace the bolt and torque it properly?
When I replaced my oil drip pan I did not use a torque wrench for the bolt. I used my judgement when tightening it down.
It is totally up to you. Did you do the 90 degrees stage 2, or just 9nm? Either way I "think" its fine.
Is the cover installed? I personally would not be messing with the cover if its installed, I think that gasket is thin and flimsy and should probably be replaced every time the cover is removed. The gasket on the drivers side cover seems more durable and can be reinstalled.

I didn’t do the 90 degrees after 9nm. And yes, I replaced the drip pan and the cover..I don’t really want to open it up and re-do it, but it’s definitely on my mind.
