Use a proper torque wrench. OEM oil plug 37 ftlbs, OEM filter housing 19 ftlbs. I couldn't find the torque specs for the sump pan in the Bentley book. Check Pelican's tech articles. I believe the spec for the sealant is 2MM wide strip. Anymore and it ends up in the pan and starts floating around in your oil passages. I believe Pelican used Loctite 5000 in their tech article. Hopefully somebody will add in details. And don't forget the washers.
