    I haven't come across any torque specs for the hex screws securing the clutch cover, anyone know or have a good recommendation. Also, other than slotting in a new gasket, any other recommendations so that I don't end up with a drip?

    Thanks,

    Do you mean the socket head cap screws? The kind one would use an allen wrench on.

    a) get or make a T shaped tool with the hex towards the bottom of the T and the hand goes on the top part.
    b) glue the gasket to the cover. I generallly have used the red/orange rtv silicone type stuff but recently have discovered the black stuff is much stronger just isn't rated to as high heat. This keeps the gasket from sticking on one surface in some places and on the other surface in other places often resulting a severly damaged gasket.
    c) make sure you put the longer screws where the locating pins are as if you put a short one there the threads might pull out.
