Halo peeps, I will be attempting to fix a rod knock on my wifes 04 GTP and can't seem to find the following information;
What's the torque for the...
Rod Bolts
Oil pan bolts
Wheels
Would it be wise to replace oil pan gaskets? The car has about 180k miles so I figured I might as well (as of now it does not leak so they might be fine).
I will also be changing the oil with Mobil1 Synthetic 5W30 and a FRAM high mileage filter. If you believe a different combination would perform better I'm open to suggestions!
I've also read that when I get new rod bolts I should get ARP, thoughts on those anyone have experience with them?
I'm using RockAuto to purchase the bearings but I don't know what size to get. My options are Clevite; 0.01",0.02",0.03" undersize. I will be replacing all the bearings because why not.
And if I get under there and realize the crank is scored then I'll be scrapping the car as I don't have the tools to drop the motor and the car isn't worth the price to have a shop do it.
Thank you in advance for your wisdom, have a blessed day!
