Probably has something to do with the Ferolite gasket material. I ran the 22nm with 25 degrees. Seems very tight to me still, so I agree. No leaks yet!
I appreciate the reply. Exactly, never use RTV with most gaskets, and that is why I asked. Haha. I would sure hope nobody would be using RTV on a head!
I received my FP cover and the instructions state 29.5lb ft for the diff cover bolts. Out of curiosity, where did you come up with your number?
Also, you mention using RTV with the supplied FP gasket, why would you do that? It's either RTV or a gasket for most things that I know of; and curious...
