While shopping for parts for my 1971 basket case Commando, I found and bought a non-running but complete 1974 Roadster.
Presently waiting for parts to arrive from Andover (workshop manual, missing oil feed lines and bolts, etc.)
Oil drained out clean and green !
Question: Does anyone have torque specs for crankcase strainer, oil tank plug and engine drain plug?

I have read over the torque specs but never used them. I use a good sealing washer and tighten judiciously, or until the leak/s stop.

If it is a Mk2 Roadster (could be a late Mk1).

Parts (with diagrams included from the 850 Mk1 manual because the Mk2/2A parts supplement has none):
