Joe-
1.) Bellhousing to engine= 20 lb/ft
2.) Oil drain plug= snug with some teflon tape (optional) for good measure.
This is a tapered pipe thread and should not be tightened excessively. No
more than 10 lb/ft +/-
3.) Oil pan bolts= 15 lb/ft
Check in the Engine and Gearbox sections of Bentley for specific fasteners,
most are there.
Good Luck-
