Thumbs up Oil bolt torque
Helms says 29 lb/ft
Manual says 33 lb/ft

I know it prolly doesn't matter but which one is right?

I'm doing 29 and it's not leaking so I figure the lower the better.

I use 33-35 ft lbs of torque on the engine oil drain plug. I know it ain't gonna vibrate loose and spin off.
