Install the oil pan. Tighten the 1/4 inch bolts to 80 inch lbs. (9 Nm); the 5/16 inch bolts to 11 ft. lbs. (15 Nm); the oil pan drain plug to 30 ft. lbs. (41 Nm).
Don't know about the crank

Main bearing cap bolts are 80 ft-lbs. The regular oil pan bolts I just go until they're tight, you don't really have to use a torque wrench on those.

you should if using a cork gasket, hell you should just so you don't strip the bolts or stretch them. 80 in lbs isn't a whole lot, easy to overtighten and crush the gasket.
