Constant | 1) hmmm ... opinion on what i should do with the m8s which are currently torqued to 35 lb-ft? should i back them out and retorque them to 24? or should i leave them as they are since it's seated with the gasket? which ones are which (m8 vs m10)? there were two black ones (bottom of the cover) and the rest were a different color (too tired for brain to think of the color) - two short that go at the top and the other four that go at the four corners of the middle raised section. 2) well ... maybe i'll go with that. not sure how the rubber o-ring will deal with that, but i have spares of the old style with crush washers. doesn't that seem high for aluminum? the last thing i want to do is mess up the threads for the drain/fill plugs after all this!  __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles
