Hi all,
Looking for actual torque specs for a 225. I torqued to 35lb, in 3 stages, clockwise from the middle. Unfortunatly they have a slight leak around the edges in some spots. Im assuming the outer seal is not contacting well so should i use some OMC sealant on the exterior gasket surface? Also, is that Torque spec seem correct?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
