Fumoto valve install

I just got done installing the F107SX Fumoto oil drain valve (https://www.fumotousa.com/f107sx.html). I used a torque wrench and tightened to 15 ft-lbs per their site, but man it's still a little nerve-wracking for some reason.

I wanted to make this post so you could see how the clearance looks. As you can see in the photos, it does *not* stick down below anything. The cross-bar and the exhaust etc are lower, so I'm not concerned about catching it on anything.

I did a quick test drive and watched the oil pressure get up into the 80 PSI range, and I don't see any seepage or leaking of any kind yet.

My only remaining concern is winter road junk causing some kind of corrosion in the mechanism.
