Torque specs. for Oil Housing Bolts...Help!
I need to replace my leaking Oil Housing gasket and I am hopeful that one of you guys knows the torque on these bolts, six of them on the housing to the block, or came direct me to a sight that may have such information. There is BimmerDIY.com, but the torque settings shown are speculation in regards to the bolt strength. Thanks in advance for any information!

You mean the bolts on the oil filter housing to the engine.
I have done that repair. I don't think I ever found printed torque specs. I likely went somewhere in the middle and torqued them to 20ft/lbs. Its been about 3 years with no problems. Dont get too hung up on finding the exact torque specs, as long as you dont over torque them you cant go wrong and thats in the 40ft/lb territory.
