block fasteners are torqued to 108 in.lbs.(12 Nm). Tighten the fasteners if necessary.
NOTE: Tool TMUSM8A(or equivalent) is required to obtain proper torque when
checking OFA fastener torque with the cooler installed on engine.
6. Verify the oil cooler to OFA fasteners are torqued to 108 in.lbs.(12 Nm.). Tighten the
fasteners if necessary.
