Does this seem high to anybody else? I don't want to strip out the threads. Also I am using rtv copper so would that effect how much I torque it. Also small rant on cv34's The small o ring on the plastic plugs are $10 from the dealer.. Why so much for something smaller than my pinky finger.
Probably 87 in-lbs --- That's INCH-pounds. Not foot-pounds.
Here's a link to another service manual.

Scroll down to the Bible, and download the manual.
Check out page 35 and also page 77.
Good Fortune!
