Hello,

I have the Honda manual but can't find this info.

Got a new I/S tank and will install a new petcock.  Is any sealant needed for the threads?  i.e. teflon tape, etc?

Also, is there a torque value or just "good and tight"?

Thanks,

No... and just good and snug.

No, there is a small o-ring down in there.  Make sure it is there.  It does the sealing.  Just tighten tight, do NOT crank on it.
