I will add to the above suggestion. Get a couple of studs to aid in dropping it into exact position. Many people reccomend the good stuff(I believe is the name) its a black silicoln in a self applicating bottle(like the cheeze whiz or whatever its called). I use a little different method than above. I set it before it skins over(using studs to drop it in place) then torque it in sequence to a light setting(10lbs). Then leave it overnight. Then I torque it to 25lbs then to the final spec(actually I go a couple pounds over spec). I havent had any trouble with this method and its even better if you can wait longer after final torque(I prefer to let it sit at least a few hours and give it one more torque before I put the rest of the parts back on that prevent torquing. When I retorqued after heat a couple heat cycles I noticed everything was better that the previous time. Cleanliness is very important to get good bond and seal. I have also used acetone and break cleaner.
