    I opened up my OEM Manuals for that model and they state 105 ft/lbs as well.

    They also state to use OMC Gasket Sealing Compound on the threads! I have never done that before, nor read it before. Anyone else?

    Most of the newer manuals say that. I don’t know if it is for a thread lubricant, or a locking agent, or both (?) Old manuals don’t say that and I only work on old motors so haven’t been concerned. But anybody know for sure?
