Need help with oil filter adaptor bolt
I'm giving an oil change to my Road King. As I was wiping out the oil filter flange, I noticethe oil filter adaptor bolt is loose.
Does anyone have the torque specs on the oil filter adaptor bolt and do I put lock tight on the adaptor bolt before I putback into the flange?
I can't find any information on this in the service manual.

I don't have spec's for the adaptor bolt but I did install the oil cooler and you have to remove the original and install one that comes with the kit. The new one does have lock tight and I snugged it down pretty tight.

RE: Need help with oil filter adaptor bolt
I looked in the service manual too, and while I was able to find the adapter bolt in the crankcase exploded view, I could find nowhere in the text where it mentioned installing it and I couldn't find a reference for it on the torque tables.
I then looked at the instruction sheet for installing my Jagg oil cooler, and it just said to "tighten the oil filter adapter" and listed no torque.
Like Bob said- I put Loctite on it and snugged it pretty tight.
I also sprayed out the threads before installing it so the Loctite would stick.
