oil Quick drain
Can a oil quick drain be installed on a Cont. C-145-2 engine. Anyone have a P/N? Thanks. Tailspintommy

AeroQuip PN: AE80666H or Saf-Air Pn: S1000 (or Spruce PN: 07-00880) about $64.
It's a 1-inch X 18 (thread pitch) drain valve.
(You don't need the anti-seize)

Re: oil Quick drain
Mine was leaking so I just received a seal kit for it from McFarlane. Kit number is S1000-K. Spruce also sells them but were out of stock this week.
I spoke to Saf-Air and asked for any installation info and I got this exploded view and the recommendation of anti-seize.
I’m looking for a torque spec for it. I found in a Continental SB a torque for “Plug with crush gasket” for all models of 15.8-17.5 ft-lbs. Does that sound like the right torque for this drain valve?

Re: oil Quick drain
Yes, it sounds like the right torque. Nice information Richard posted from EAA but the correct torque would be either from Continental Found in M-0, a Lycoming manual if you have one of those engines or the valve manufacturer.
CAUTION - My forum posts may be worth what you paid for them!

Re: oil Quick drain
Following-Up on Bruce’s comment: Edit> The EAA video / chart posted by Richard is the Lycoming procedure, so if you have a Lycoming engine that would be appropriate (and would likely be helpful if you are out in the “field” without a torque-meter/wrench.)
The Continental M-0 document may be found in our Mx Library by Assoc’n Members: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=13635
The specified Torque-Chart for all fasteners, including those utilizing CRUSH GASKETS, will be found in Appendix “B”, Page B-6. For example, many of the 3/4” and smaller crush gaskets are specified at 190-210 Inch-lbs,… while the 1-3/4” nut/gasket such as the Oil Screen is specified at 500-520 Inch-lbs. (Note that equates to 43 ft-lbs…but that the instructions for the STC’d Tempest/FM-Enterprises Adaptor is 60-ft-lbs.)
Members are encouraged to download the M-0 pdf and read it…. (worth an Associates’ Degree at most Junior Colleges).

Re: oil Quick drain
Thanks, George. I was wondering why I couldn't find the torque limits service bulletin on Continental support web page. It looks like they moved that torque info from the service bulletin to an appendix in the maintenance manual.
