[FC] DRAIN PLUGS my 2 cents

[N2VZD at aol.com]

just 2 thoughts as i pass by the puter in a hurry...1: i will not use an 
oversize self tapping plug unless its a matter of life or death or no pan 
available. so try another new stock plug , they are very easy to get and cheap. 2: 
overtightening does in most of the good "softer (plastic)" gaskets.try for 
aluminum , copper, or the hard composite type like the filter bolt gaskets. and pay 
attention to any dirt specks near the drain hole. the plastic gaskets are fine 
but do not overtighten them and look at them carefully before reusing them. i 
do not reuse them or the gasket under the oil filter bolt. "aint worth the 
risk!"
