1977 Chrysler 10hp 100HA exhaust cover specs

[Undersquare]

Does anyone have torque specs and tightening sequence for the exhaust cover on this motor? I've replaced the 2 gaskets and plate once and its leaking on me. Should i use permatex?
Thanks for reading

The trouble with just putting the cover back on is the edges need squaring up.
Or milled if possible.
When the factory made the motor it was all sharp/square edges and the gaskets just seemed to fit better. Plus once it was made and ran for a few minutes it set for a time, up to a year, maybe more and the gaskets just held better.
Yes a sealer and not too much or it will block up the passages.
