What kind of pressure does it need to tighten a 19hp briggs & stratton oil pan on a riding lawn mower?

Just get the oil pan bolts ';snug'; tight. If you tighten them really hard you will squeeze the gasket out and possibly warp the pan. The bolts aren't that big too. When you put them on tighten them a little at a time in a cross pattern to put them on even.What kind of pressure does it need to tighten a 19hp briggs %26amp; stratton oil pan on a riding lawn mower?
Carl has the right answer. Don't use thread locker. It is not necessary and will be difficult to remove later. Snug them up and keep them even.What kind of pressure does it need to tighten a 19hp briggs %26amp; stratton oil pan on a riding lawn mower?
Snug the bolts hard and use lock tight
about a half turn before it snaps
RTFM.


The Manual will give you torque limits for


different bolt sizes.
