Loc-Tite your primary drain plugs!!....it takes me an hour to drill em out and chase the threads!!....a shop WILL charge you a good hour and thats IF he doesnt destroy the threads...which means , usually, a new outer primary cover $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ !!!!
{ and i,ve heard that Tat goes ballistic over it!!

Looks to me like the little rubber gasket on there would keep it from backing off. Do you torque those plugs or do you just snug them by feel?February 20, 2011
What rubber gasket??? ...no, i dont torque anything on a primary cover....February 20, 2011
The 88 and newer drain plugs have the rubber o-ring behind them to keep them from leaking I assume, i do`t think there is any on the EVO, have not changed oil on it for a long time but I do not remember and o-ring.February 20, 2011
Theres NO o-ring on the PRIMARY cover oil drain plug...ever...you,re thinking oil bag drain...
February 20, 2011
Yep,February 21, 2011

Yes..its a pipe thread and Harley puts factory sealant on them....Torx (female) head... tapered.February 22, 2011
I always thought the taper was sufficient to seal, just like most pipe thread.
