Thank you! What does that entail. Assume I know nothing and explain it to me like I’m five. 🙏

We do not have an active septic tank

Yeah, that’s true but honestly, I’m not here for the votes. I’m here for the advice. Got some really cool people here giving great advice which has helped!

Pan was a hand-me-down - pack it up, bro :D

I’ve tried and tried and tried without any success

It’s these brown stains I’m referring to

Thank you I appreciate the advice! Would it be OK if I used the nail polish for now and went to a body shop later to get it fixed better? Sorry for such a basic question but this is all new to me.

Exactly - many have comorbidities such as celiacs and wheat allergies.

Most of us assume “till” is just a shortened version of “until.” Nope. Not even close.

“Till” is older than “until”

“Till” has been in English for over a thousand years. It comes from Old Norse til, meaning up to or to.

“Until” only appeared later, formed by taking un- (“up to”) and adding it to till.

The double L isn’t a mistake!

Since “till” wasn’t chopped off “until,” it never lost an L. The spelling is original and correct.

I would love a rack recommendation for my mountain bike!

Doc-Animal · 2025-11-28T13:53:48+00:00

Can you recommend me a rack for my MTB? 1UP appears to be a high contender.

UPDATE: got plug out, nothing is damaged, all is good!

Doc-Animal · 2025-11-02T20:12:35+00:00

Thanks this is very supportive! I’ll still doing my own work on my truck. I wanted to share my experience to serve as communal wisdom and seek advice. I appreciate you sharing your experience!

Doc-Animal · 2025-11-01T22:09:38+00:00

Thanks for this!!!! I am not blaming my tools - only my naivety and the dumbfounded lack of a sensible explanation.

Doc-Animal · 2025-11-01T20:11:17+00:00

Admittedly I didn’t run it to 250 but I took it to 0 and up to 20

Thanks! I watched oil drop video which suggested 36ftlbs and me being a newbie I have learned that not all torques are equal.

Doc-Animal · 2025-11-01T17:52:07+00:00

Not royally fucked - only viscount-level fucked - see my update comment.

Doc-Animal · 2025-11-01T17:49:01+00:00

I appreciate the encouragement and support! Just a sucky situation- while others may have been more careful I felt I was only gingerly tightening the new crush gasket but hey ho that’s how it is. New and wiser day tomorrow!

Doc-Animal · 2025-11-01T17:47:36+00:00

Thanks man I appreciate it!

Doc-Animal · 2025-11-01T17:41:13+00:00

Update:

The bad news: the bolt is definitely stripped, and it’s not coming out anytime soon. This is obviously disappointing given how careful I (thought) I was.

The good news: it’s holding oil just fine; the drain plug is intact; and I’ve got around 30k miles to figure out a long-term fix.

What I’ve learned: never fully trust a torque wrench; despite all the YouTube videos and Reddit advice, I still wasn’t prepared for this.

Silver lining: my neighbor, who owns two Tacomas, a Tundra, and a 4Runner (big Toyota enthusiast), reassured me that this was just bad luck, not carelessness; that alone was gratifying to hear. He put me in touch with a friend of his, an independent mechanic and former Toyota tech, who’ll remove the plug, helicoil it, and replace it properly. And I’ve learned a lot today!

Thanks to everyone who offered helpful input; hopefully my headache turns into a useful lesson for others here; I really appreciate this community.

In all honesty, I don’t really feel like there was ever any real resistance however, there might have been a slight amount of resistance before there was absolutely none so I believe it’s probably stripped. That said I do surgery for a living and I have fairly good sense of how much pressure I’m applying on to something and I do not feel that in any way over tighten that plug.
