BOLTS FROM SUMP TO BELL HOUSING. WHICH TORQUE SETTINGS.??

[gofer]

hi folks.
just finishing up new sump gasket fit.
thought of a few new swear words :-)))

ok, on "td5 famous oil pump bolt article", it states that the lower 4 bolts on bell housing which go into the actual sump should be tightened to " 13NM "

yet in "rave " instructions for auto box etc it says all bell housing bolts to " 50nm "

which is right ??

disco 2. td5. auto box.
thanks again for input.

I couldn't believe that such large bolts that also handle all the torque of the engine should be 13NM, so I tightened them to about 60Nm.

My thoughts exactly.
I tightened them to 50nm as per rave.

Thanks for reply.
