Excellent textbook answer. Being aluminum, you would hope there wasn't much force applied.

No way would you torque an 8mm bolt to 24 ft lbs into aluminum! You will strip the threads out of the block. Follow GM's 18 ft lbs spec on the oil pump & 24 ft lbs on the cam gear.

Another forum and another application, but a effective way to show torque on aluminum is tricky...
