Everything is all clean and ready to go back together. actually thinking of skipping the paper gasket and just using the Permatex Ultra grey as I did with the rear end cover. Originally I was just going to put some of it on both sides of the paper gasket as a dressing and Torque it to 15 ft lbs.
If you use the Permatex as the sole gasket, it is a whole different set of instructions per the tube. Tighten until squeeze out, wait one hour and tighten 1/4-1/2 more turns. That is all well and good, but if you have the situation where the threads need to be sealed, I would then think: mark fastener positions, pull all fasteners after the 1 hour period and coat threads with sealer, then tighten 1/2 turn past the marked position.
Any thoughts on this?
