I have a r57 and was wondering if there was a sequence to which bolt get tightened up first when reinstalling the cover gasket? Also do we need to apply rtv silicone gasket sealant to make sure of a proper seal?

The gasket should provide sufficient sealing. Theonly time you want to use RTV is if there is two metal surfaces being joined, oil may leak out of the mating surface. An example would be an engine with a timing chain cover that bolts to the cylinder head. The area the valve cover gasket overlaps where the two join will need RTV.
Tighten the fasteners in a criss-cross pattern. - Nick |
