New OEM gaskets, ready to go. As soon as I saw gasket goop listed with the kit, I knew that wasn’t happening.

What torque did you guys tighten your band clamps to? No real instruction on this but, I read the Accuseal clamps are generally tightened to 35 ftlbs. In order to get parts to not move I was up around 55 ftlbs. Am I over torquing or is as tight as I need to go ok?
