Eh up chaps.

Today I am mostly fitting the ARP rod bolts, oil pump and pickup, sump etc to my S50 engine. Yey.

I dont have an E36 technical manual (anyone know where I can get one??) and need the following torque/angle settings:

Main shell bearings (20 NM, then 50 degrees I think).
Oil pump to block.
Oil pump drive sprocket (reverse thread)
Sump bolts.
Anything else you think I'll need...

Can anyone help?

Many thanks in advance!

Awesome.. that was trés usefull.

Unfortunately I noticed my crappy 3/8"'s torque wrench no longer reads torques for reverse threads. Did the oil pump sprocket up too tight but didn't damage anything. I also put some thread lock on the sucker..

Cheers Dan!
