so im trying to finish the oil pan swap and would like to get some info on the old mount for the original oil pickup. It obviously has to come off to fit the new e34 oil pan, what needs to be done about removing the two bolts that hold it on. they are the bolts for the camshaft and i am trying to figure out if these need to be torqued to a specific level and specific angle. I cant really find the information anywhere. thanks for the help.

You can either remove the bolts and then torque them to spec. Or you can just cut it off. Most people just cut it off, I believe -

They are torque to yield, one time use. Just bend the bracket back and forth until the bracket breaks, easy.Originally posted by blackhawkimpact View Post

What you mean torque to yield?Comment

Meaning you torque them once, they strech to their yeild point (where metal is its strongest) and hold. Once you remove them they will never be that strong again. Head bolts are torque to yeild as well. Dont reuse them. Buy new bolts if you do pull the maincap off.
