Did a quick search and not finding the specs for the oil drain plate nut torque spec?

Looking for the torque spec on the small nuts that hold the drain plate to the bottom of the case?

Any ideas?

5 ft. lbs. Nut driver works good.

Thanks

I have always wondered and sometimes I don't get them tight enough and I have seen what happens when the get to tight!

I always use a nut driver so that I don't over tighten them. Also a good idea to use acorn nuts instead of standard nuts so that the threads are protected.
