Question:

Do you have a tool or wrench available for this oil cap to make sure we dont crack it when assembling? Also, what is the best way to ensure it is torqued correctly?

There isn't a special wrench that we carry for oil caps such as # RG04-270. But you probably won't need one because the manufacturer recommends to install the caps to 20-30 foot pounds. You might be able to get to that by hand. Otherwise some channel locks could work. Just be cautious to not over-tighten.
