BUT the factory didn't use a gasket, just RTV/sealer of some sort. Once the sealer is squeezed out there is really no more "squish" and torque values rise very quickly with bolt rotation. I'm using an ATP fiber gasket (I like their gaskets), but think that much less torque is appropriate. I'm thinking more like 75-100 inch pounds.... Thoughts? Advice?

I'd think a gasket would take more torque than RTV rather than less but I think I'd stick with the OE specs. I would for sure go side to side several times & come up on the torque # in several steps like any other torqued part live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
