  Pretty much.  The 26mm would work as well.  I've put the 36 on most
of mine due to little difference in cost, previous oil pressure problems in
the Jetta and added oil squirters on a couple others.  Still need to do
one on the Dasher.

  You want the threads good and clean to prevent "wind up" when torquing
down.  You want the holes cleaned out so you don't bottom out and split
the block.  A little anti-sieze or oil on the threads is just enough for
lubricant,
not dipped and dripping.  ;-)
