Unfortunately my dumbass dropped a blade into the fuel pump mounting port. Now I have the front cover taken off this 231 3.8l that I can not for the life of me find the torque specs. Yes I know I can buy the book but I do not plan on having this motor long . Anyone have the torque specs needed for the Front cover, oil pump, water pump, harmonic balancer bolt.

alsoshould I put gasket maker on top of the gaskets. I sell all bolts besides the oil pump bolt had gasket maker on it so I will repeat that.

thank you for your help, I hope to get his 1 owner MCstarted after 10 yrs of sitting, so all and anyadvice is welcomed and greatly appreciated.
