    Time to change oil and use a fresh gasket. Don’t know the torque, but I’d GUESS about 15-17 ft lbs. Whatever you do - don’t go gorilla on it.

    I would say minimum 30 ft lbs and of course a new gasket

    Good chance 30 ftlbs is preferable. Unsure.

    That said, a brass bolt typically deforms its threads quite easily. ‘Typically’ softer than aluminum.... it does not need much torque to deform the threads (stretch) and thereby ‘lock’ the bolt into place.

    Too bad it cannot be easily safety wired into place.

    I assume (dangerous) that Ferrari used a brass plug to ensure that over zealous torque does not damage the case... hence my lower guess on torque.

    Unsure.
