ok i just did my oil pan, checked underneat the car today and i still see oil leakin a bit, not as much as it was before tho. i encountered a problem while i was doin the job tho, my buddy's torque wrench didnt work, so i had to TRY and put them on as tight as they were when i took them off. i know its a horrible idea but it was 1030 at nite and there was no chance of me gettin another one. so today, i went under the car with my dads torque wrench and set it on 10 ft lbs....holy crap, i got like 3 more turns out of the wrench. i had no idea 10 ft lbs was so much, but at the same time, lookin at the gasket above the one bolt that i tried it on, the gasket buckled out a bit over the lip of the pan, is that normal?
