I guess implying that those who don't think the way he does fall out of bed head-first is 'little drama" in your opinion?

Or maybe it just wasn't one if his better moments?

Either way, I was joking in my response and I hope he understands that.

By the way, it was also aimed at 10/10ths, who implied that re-using a crush washer puts your engine at risk. A 2-fer, if you will. I'm extending a peace offering to him as well.

Honestly I am not a hard core washerist; I do have a couple baggies of them in various sizes, but I also may have on occasion picked a used one off the garage floor and stuck it on a plug before tightening it with Vice-Grips.

The discussion was getting a little polarized, so I just thought it would be fun to give it a push.

Been known to do that on occasion myself!

This will be too funny if the source of njbray's leaking oil problem is not the LN magnetic plug as suspected but the re-use of the crush washer that has taken over this thread. No that will not prove anything but stir up the discussion.

To torque or not to torque? To new or to re-use? Those are the questions.
