I recently installed the ims guardian and I torqued the drain plug to 19ft lbs as instructed and it leaks a little oil. I tightened it about an 1/8 turn further but it still leaks. Does anyone know what the max torque is on this drain plug before it can be damaged? And yes, crush ring is installed as well.
