Curtis oil quick drain
We need to replace the quick drain on the bottom of our Lyc O-360-A1A. The
valve for the application is the CCB-37000. Does anyone know the correct torque and any recommended thread sealant? -- Best Regards, Mike. http://flickr.com/photos/mikenoel/

That's 13.3 foot- pounds. A lot less than most guys will wind up on it. I use Permatex Form-A-Gasket as a sealant. Don't use teflon tape. Dan
