2004 uses no gasket just 1/8" bead of RTV around the cleaned case cover and around each bolt holt and torqued to 165 in/lbs about 14 ft/lbs.

be crazy careful torquing the bolts on. They are suposed to go to about 13.5 - 14 ft pounds. AND THATS IT!! i had 3 strip out at 15 lbs. I would not torque more then 13 lbs. just make a nice bead of rtv and it wont leak. dont use the cork!
