jcs Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hi All, What is the proper torque for the T70 drain plug in a 2005 5MT? Manual says 54 but it's dripping and I put in a new crush washer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Tight enough so it doesn't leak. Snug it a little more. 2nd thought, are you sure the sealing surface is in good shape ? 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it. Engine Build - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcs Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Sealing surface wiped clean and inspected. Clean and flat as can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJuan Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Thread sealant. Mine did the same thing, so I gooped on some thread sealant and hasn't leaked since. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
