If you are going to use aftermarket parts, the operator needs to understand how they are different and act accordingly.

So John, do you just “recognize” when there are different fasteners in place and adjust accordingly? Keeping in mind that it may not be obvious
whose fastener it is? Just seems like a lot to keep track of. (I’m talking especially the second time around, when you’re not the one tightening that new fastener, when it’s now greasy and grungy and hard to id.)
Do most mechanics recognize LN drain plugs and know to back off on the torque applied?
And…do you use a torque wrench when you do them?
And…if not, are you gonna start?
