    There should be a pattern somewhere in your S Manual if you don't follow it you can crack the case & it will leak even if you don't crack the cover

    The only thing that comes remotely close to a sequence is that it shows a diagram of bolt placement with number 1-3. The numbers are indicators of bolt lengths and quantity of each.

    Can I start with the uppermost bolt ( #1) and work my way around counterclockwise and do all the number 1's, then on the #2's then 3's?

    JB, start in the center and work out, top then bottom then top then bottom. And I would also do left then right.

    I did a search on the Internet and have the diagram for you, pretty much like I was saying.

    This is similar to what I have in my book, but mine only has numbers going 1 through three. I have 7 #1's, 4 number 2's and two #3's. :banghead:

    Use a criss-cross pattern, starting in the middle...snug them up first then torque them down using the same pattern... same with the derby cover....criss-cross or star pattern...you want to torque them down evenly...

    I think the torque spec on the bolts is 220 foot/lbs.

    Like Lucifer said! Always start in center, crisscross, working your way out to both ends evenly. Break torque spec down a few times working your way up to spec. Can never go wrong with this technique.

    WTF LOL 220 FOOT POUNDS :roflmao::roflmao:

    Inch pounds maybe and I bet it's a lot less.

    JB,, like the diagram shows, the bolts are numbered
    and you work from center out in crisscross pattern.

    I don't have your sporty pattern but if you start in the center
    and move it like you do a wheel (star pattern) and work out to the ends
    this clamps the center down and then forces pressure to the ends
    eliminating warping...

    JB, you better check the book for torque value! You know the difference between FOOT and INCH pounds right?!

    Yes, I do, the spec that it needs to be torqued at is 80-110 inch pounds. I like to be right in the middle of the spec so I will torque to 95 in/lbs.

    Did you smell everything in there. YOu can tell how things are wearing from the smell.
    If you didn't take it back on and sit there with a light and smell....
