I replaced mine and torqued to 75 FT lbs. But just came across an ebay listing that says to torque to 100 FT lbs. Anyone know for sure what the correct torque is?

From the ebay listing:

"Coat the four fittings seals with assembly grease and install them into the oil rail,tighten up by hand and finish with 100lb-ft factory torque spec. Follow oem service manual to reinstall back on engine."

I also question the use of "assembly grease".

This was never a user or dealer serviceable part until recently. I can say that if you used 75 lb-ft vs 100, you will be OK, but if you do remove it in the future, retorque to see if it has loosened and maybe run it up to 100. It kinda make one wonder why 100 is the magic number for a flexible hold-down, considering the stand-pipes only get 60 lb-ft.
