Any suggestions?? Also - are compression washers required - mine had none. Thank you. Click to expand... Seems a little high, doesn't it? Just remember to do the proper conversion to ft-lbs and don't set your wrench inappropriately. 60 nm = 44.2 ft-lbs The drain bolt is the one that everyone strips. The manual only calls for 15 nm. 15 nm = 11 ft.lbs <<<====== !!!!!!!!
