Kidding aside, I read 6.1ft-lbs for the pan screws and 16 ft-lbs for the oil pick up. Thanks phunk.

baffle screws safety wired

Will the screws that hold the baffles in place be drilled for safety wire or will they be self locking? I won't trust Locktite given the high oil temps the Z will see.

The VQ does already have oil scrapers in the shield under the crank! This makes the oil pan's job easier.
