There are two basic styles of plugs--gasketed and gasketless. The crush washer is the gasket and it is crimped in place at the factory. When you tighten a new gasketed plug, you finger-tighten it until the gasket contacts then you give it about a turn and a half more with a wrench. Once you have done that once and you take the plug back out, the gasket will have been crushed and you don't want to give it that extra turn and a half if you put it back in. The gasketless plugs get screwed in until they contact then you give it about a half turn more with a wrench. Follow the recommendations for tightening in a good shop manual.
