I did the same, cleaned the drain plug with brake cleaner and a crush washer, apply little around the base and if you wipe off the flat surface of the case with paper towel and brake cleaner it sticks to that. The case threads have oil on them. Probably stick with no torque! LOL
I noticed my original drain plug had some white stuff on it that must have been hylomar. Probably don't want any chance of leakage during shipment but that says something about the engine manufacturer. Then it made me think, you know if you have a bullet proof engine, you can build something that will sell at the right price, and people will put up with a lot of other less desirable accessories and will fix it, but it won't go without a good engine reputation.
