[QUOTE="KLLR SNK, post: 15474948, member: 142881"] When tightening the bolts, instead of using a skipping sequence use a cross pattern to even out the pressure on the surfaces. Since you torqued the bolts to spec I wouldn't think they would come loose but weird things do happen. You might want to allow the rtv to skin before assembly then full 24 hours for the rtv to completely dry before filling with gear lube. Most torque measurements are for dry hole not wet hole specs so since the case is aluminum you could use a little [U]blue[/U] loctite but reduce the torque to 75% or about 19ftlbs. Make sure the carrier bearing load cap bolts are torqued to 5-10ftlbs but no more. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
