If you twist it on you can get it right to the bottom..but it yea second to last thread is pretty much right there.

There is the right way and then there's the service manual way.

So what's the torque on the Titek Magnetic plug? and Can I use the Nissan Copper washer with it?

Z1 says 17 Ft.lb for theirs, so I think that's probably be good for Titek. (since both are aluminum) I'm thinking even 19 Ft.lb would be ok.
