In the case of the lost quick drain fitting the complete unit spun out of the sump.
As it has a tapered tread, which when screwed to the correct torque, locks in.
This relies on the engineer doing it correctly and the is no visible way of checking.
On the replacement engine it was wired locked into the sump as well, for piece of mind.
Push and twist quick drain operation was not affected.
