at any rate, mine's not leaking.


Very true. The factory gaskets are just a leak waiting to happen because o-rings never like to seal on top of another o-ring. The 10ish ft pounds are for sealing one gasket, not 2 or 3. So if you have to put 20 ft lbs now on those bolts whats going to happen? I would hate to see anyone strip out there pan because of $5 in studs and nuts. $5 mistake cost you $180 for a new pan.
