Hello,
Does anyone know the torque setting for the oil filter housing to the block for the MGC.

No torque setting listed for the housing bolts. 15 lb. ft. for the oil filter center bolt.

If you are speaking of the head, the basic guide to torque values would apply.

If indeed you are speaking of container for the filter, a much lighter touch....enough to make the seal.

Just tight enough for seal to work.
