Hi,
Absolutely, you can. I attached the directions which include the torque specifications.
Before installing the oil pan, apply a thin coat of RTV sealer to both ends of the oil pan rear seal, then seat seal firmly into rear main bearing cap. Do not allow the sealer to extend beyond the oil pan rear seal tabs. Apply a continuous 2 mm bead of RTV sealer along oil pan side rails in line with bolt holes, circling inward around each bolt hole location. Also, apply RTV sealer to the oil pan surface which contacts the engine front cover. This bead of sealer must meet the bead at each oil pan side rail. Do not apply any RTV sealer to the oil pan rear seal mating surface. Carefully install the oil pan and torque attaching bolts alternately and evenly to 6 to 9 ft. Lbs, then to a final torque of 13 to 18 ft. Lbs. Torque attaching bolts while RTV sealer is still wet to touch.
Let me know if this helps.
Take care,
joe
