Oil Sump Plug Torque?
Anyone know what the oil sump plug is classified as so that I can refer to the lycoming service table of limits to determine what they should be torqued to? Is it just a pipe plug class?

From the Lyc OH manual:
Install all crush type gaskets except the self centering
type, with the unbroken surface against the flange of
the plug or part being tightened against the seal. Turn
the part until the sealing surfaces are in contact and
then tighten to the angle of turn listed for the
appropriate thread size.
Plug is an 18 pitch which calls for 135 deg for the copper/asbetos gasket.

Washer
Anyone have the ACS part number for the gasket / washer for the large bolt that secures the oil finger screen at the bottom rear of an O-360?
Thanks,

Thanks. The oil pick up screen is my next inspection. Does the YIO-540 use the same size crush gasket for that AN900-16?
