Thanks RustyGood topic, thread has been stuck (pinned)
I tossed the torx head screws and went to Fastenal for fasteners and external star lock washers. These cases and covers are so touchy I snugged them up and gave them only 1/4-1/3 extra turn with 1/4" drive ratchet. The new gaskets can be a bit long for the cover groove so I throw mine in the freezer beforehand.Thanks Rusty
Good call on the new bolts and star lock washers. The stock torx have a tendency to strip on me, seem soft, and some socket bits don't fit them well since the head is shallow.I tossed the torx head screws and went to Fastenal for fasteners and external star lock washers.

Had that exact issue with the seal. Push it into a couple corners and then go back and press the seal in. Takes a bit of tinkering to get the seal lined up correctly but once it is in place it should stay there.When you put the gasket in, most guys start in one spot and push it in by sliding their finger around the groove.. This stretches the seal as you go and it ends up seeming too long.
Racers trick when the gasket gets too big , put a rubber glove on and hold an ice cube in your fingers and rub the seal with that, it shrinks itHad that exact issue with the seal.
