Perfect, thanks!
The OEM gaskets for the end covers have some sort of sealant applied to them from factory. Guess thats why you pay double for them. No worries on this end so long as they seal:-)
Thanks all!
How about the torque settings? Never torqued down something with just sealant in between.

Just the same - the whole point is you're clamping the bearings more so than the gasket (or not) faces.
Regarding the end cover gaskets, I think they should be one of two thicknesses, depending on whether they have the "built in" sealant. Perhaps someone will elaborate, I don't build gearboxes often enough for such details to stick in my ageing memory

The shimming of the diff is dependant upon the compressed thickness of the gasket...
