I'm preparing the S50B30 engine for a swap into my E30.
Can any one help me with these torque settings please?

Oil pickup tube bolts
Main bearing cap bolts
Oil filter housing bolts


Also, when remove oil pickup brackets from the main bearing caps do I need new bolts?
Do I need to use E34 sump bolts or E36 ones are fine?

Thank you.

Mains bolts are not stretch, so no need to replace, I just bend the bracket over though. Both sumps use the same bolts

That's good to hear. Thanks DanThe

One more newbie question.
When it says 20 Nm and 50 degrees, does it mean either is fine or to do it in sequence?

tourqe in sequence to 20 Nm, and then in the same sequence tighten a further 50 degrees. you will need a angle gauge to do this properly, or you can make one quite easily.
