plenum pan
This is my second time i do the plenum pan in 2 days, i just cant get it right, well i was thinking that 7 foot ibs of torque for the belly pan is too little, i followed the procedure step by step and still nothing, oil is getting into thechamber alot worse then when i torqued the belly pan by hand
Where can i get an aluninumpan so i can weld the pan to the intake

Like zman stated, the stock bolts are too long to actually torque the pan/gasket down, they just bottom out. If you insist on using the stock stuff, I would suggest griding the end of the bolts down a little bit so they dont bottom out before the pan is torqued.
But, you might as well consider replacing it with a Hughes or APS kit... much better than the stock crap. It is basically a solid, thick (like maybe 3/8 of an inch) piece of aluminum that pretty much ends the dreaded leaky plenum.
