not sure if there is a torque setting as a dry gasket can require more force ,  I  clean - lubricate the gasket ,these are in some cases 40 plus yeas old  - and then I screw tightly ,  ( in cross pattern )  then back-off a little till it grabs , and that is usually the sweet spot -

 

 

Randy,

 

What do you use to lubricate the gasket with ??

 

Thanks!     Roger

Carl,

 

I have a inch / pound torque wrench for guns and figgured it would be in inch pounds for these screws..  :D

I've had a bunch of them apart and together and always done it by feel.  If you feel like digging, I'm sure there's a chart somewhere that shows torque by fastener size.

Carl, 

 

If it gets bad, We are covered my buddy the big farmer packed up yesterday to ride it out in one of his Cabins he owns in Tenn., so I can always house sit his 4,500 acres or go to my Moms and ride it out. My buddies Driveway is 0.3 miles long and Moms is 0.4 miles long.  :D
