1000 deductible lol wow that's insane. Mine is 350 and they would cover it fully here, if u can prove it was a rock

And this is why u need oil pressure gauge

a quick google search showed me 20ft lb + 1/4 turn. you could do a little further than that just to be sure. make sure you're using assembly lube
