lol thanks, the fittings came with a washer, which I obviously put on the fitting before I put it on the block. but the directions said to torque the fitting to like 320 lbs! anybody know where I can get a torque wrench to tighten that thing down?

I'd just do it to stock Spec check the FSM it should have the tq reading to tighten to.

Where'd you get 320lbs?
It's 35-55 lbs for front and rear iron and about 40lbs for front cover. Good thing you asked before you attempted to torqued that thing.
You should use some RTV or Hylomar on the threads.

Oops. I meant 35-55 for the rear and about 40 for the front cover and NOT front/rear AND front cover. I thought I'd clarify that but we all know there are one front and one rear. DUH.
