Whats up......I have the 1995 3.4L Camaro. I've done a few searches on where to get some specifics on torque specs for the 3.4L engine.....I've found some stuff, but its not as specific as I need it to be. The torque spec I'm looking for is on the bolt that attaches the oil filter adapter to the engine block. The reason? I have a small oil leak that is coming out of that bolt and it is dripping right onto my exhaust. Doing some research, it turns out this bolt has an O-ring seal on it. Now normally I'm not too caught up on how many ft-lbs a bolt should be torqued, just depends.....but I think this bolt is fairly important, considering that it is the only bolt holding on the oil filter adapter (I think), it has an O-ring seal, and it has to put up with some oil pressure.
I have referenced the Haynes and Chilton manuals and have come up empty handed. I asked a GM Parts dealer, and they said they don't have that kind of information. But, after doing some search on this forum, my best chance for finding that spec is buying the GM Service Manuals. I hear that its a two volume set for around 90 bucks. That's fine. But I'd hate to buy them, and they end up not having the torque information on this specific bolt.
I'm asking if anyone that has these service manuals could possibly tell me if this information is listed in one of the volumes. And to better describe what bolt I'm talking about, I have an exploded view of the oil filter area of the engine. Here's the link:

The bolt I'm talking about is #410. You may have to scroll half way to the right and half way to the left. I'd appreciate any help. And if no one has the service manuals, is there a good chance that this information can be found in the service manuals?
Thanks
