7/16-14
Several online sources say 65# for a SBC oil pump bolt. A bolt torque chart says 70# dry and 55# oiled, for a grade 8 bolt, which it is. (6 radial lines)
The bolt started crushing the oil pump before the wrench clicked. It's the same pump I took off.
I yam con-fused.
It's a 94-ish 350 crate motor in a work van.
