<VV> Torque values for the 90 degree oil adaptor

[Stephen Upham]

I set my wrench at 17 per previous advise that indicated 15-20 would  
be appropriate.  When I was tightening,  the torque felt like I was  
going to put too much on it.  I stopped before it reached 17 ....  
maybe 12-15.  I started the engine and checked for leaks,  I didn't  
see anything around the gasket on that particular bolt, nor anywhere  
else for that matter.  I will keep my torque wrench with me for a few  
days and monitor it regularly.  Thanks for the reply.
