[QUOTE="fjr vfr, post: 940843, member: 3127"] One other note about the torque values. After you've screwed and unscrewed your drain plug numerous times for oil changes the thread material weakens some each time. The value used when new is not a good value to use after your 5th or 8th oil change. Keep that in mind. I also found the torque values for the bolts that secure the valve cover to be misleading. Those bolts have rubber grommets under them and this causes many false reading. Sometimes you just have to trust your own instincts. And Fred you are right about the oil volume, (of course) but with the insert there will be a little more staying in. [/QUOTE]
