I just changed the oil pan gasket on my 2.4 ld9 motor and am having trouble with the torque settings. The factory book says that the bottom bolts that attach the lower motor mount to pan are 18ft lbs but when I went to the motor mount replacement section it says 94ft lbs for the bottom and 44 for the front. I just dont think the book is right because it would @!#$ the pan gasket up if I torqued the bolts to 94. But then what are the front bolts that attach just under the timing chain cover.

yeh, 94 ft.lbs would squeeze that gasket out like a zit on a teenager. i would also do more than 18 ft lbs too, i would just give them a good snug, with a little oomph thrown on for good measure (just not to much)
