The engine block has three tapered plugs sealing the high pressure oil gallery. These threaded plugs do not have a torque specification but instead are installed to a specific depth. Do not attempt to further tighten these plugs, damage to the engine block could result. Whenever these plugs are removed they must be replaced. Service plugs have a lock patch and do not require the application of additional sealant.
