I am working on the restoration of my '72 1800ES, and starting to turn my attention to the engine. One item on the list is to disassemble, clean up, inspect, and reassemble the oil pump. Pump was a bit full of gunk after sitting idle for a few decades. Once I get it cleaned up and inspected, what torque should I be using for the 4 bolts that hold it together? Have not found any information on this, and do not want to over tighten the bolts, which can cause damage to the aluminum castings. Nor, under tighten causing leaks and potentially have the pump come apart while driving.
