  Torque for Oil Plug

I can't believe with all the bright minds participating in this thread, no one has mentioned oil plug seals. Here is how you know that you have the right torque: get a plastic oil plug seal that matches your plug. Then, when you tighten the plug, watch when the plug starts to squize the plastic out. Just after you squized the plastic, it's tight enough. Have used this "gauge" on all my cars/truck and never had any leaks. Same could work for aluminum seals if you're weary of plastic, though aluminum is obviously harder to deform so you have to account for that.

  Torque for Oil Plug

Well, ncrunch can still use a soft aluminum washer to gauge the torque on his oil-drain plug - no worry about breaking or melting there.

ncrunch,
Trying to find a good use for your torque wrenches.
The CUTs do come with torque specs for all the bolts (have to be questioned in light of comments by earthwrks), maybe that's where you can put them to use. I understand you have to check all the bolts every 200hrs or so.
