When it comes to unlisted torque specs, you have 2 options.

1. German torque=guten tite
2. American torque=fu***** tight.

If you've been wrenching long enough, veteran wrenchers can tell when something is just right. Obviously you're not going to use a 1/2" MATCO 2769 gun on a 1/4" fastener.

I was just wondering what the factory called for because its actual holding a lot of weight on the bracket that'* threaded in to the aluminum oil pan I am thinking 20 foot pounds with the aluminum threads with anti seize so you don't get indifferent
metal corrosion
Yea one of those things we did working on B52 D models J57
aluminum case holding the fuel control anti seize on all the steel bolts going in to aluminum threads

I remember using torque multipliers on helicopter engines in the army. 1500ftlbs with a 5 ft torque wrench. On top of a multiplier.

I guess we had the same job in service mike I was jet engine mechanic
and looks like you were to
All ways loved up in the cockpit and getting to run the engines at full power
then hitting water injection on them man they would scream
I bet you got to fly around in the helicopters
