If they don't tighten down more, then I'll pull the housing and check the positioning of the gasket and flatness of the face. I wiped a bit of fresh oil on the gasket before install out of habit, but I'm reading that some people get better results with a completely dry gasket and mounting faces. Sounds painful to me!
bummer. i have the torque specs somewhere... let me know if you need them.
