Just go around them in light steps. I usually start in the middle and work out to the ends, but no biggie. About 8 ft/lb is all they'll stand. Primary gaskets cost too much no matter who makes them and no matter the brand, they won't have the extra bar made for the corner at 10 o'clock of the clutch area. James used to, but they either don't make them or nobody carries them. If they do, it's James# 34901-79A or DS# 174321, If you can't get that one, just go with OEM.

I did mine, easy. Just common sense, lightly tighen them going from one side and crossing to the other, but use an inch/lbs torque wrench. It says in Clymers manual what to do it at. I think its like 24"/lbs. I think I used a Cometic gasket, metal in the middle and black on the outside. I got an "/lbs torque wrench at Harbor Tool and freight, I probably use it more than a foot/lbs torque wrench on my bike.

Yes you can, but you loose the feel. Most foot # wrences are 1/2" drive. The inch # wrench is 3/8" drive. There's difference in the length of the wrench and therefore the feel. Both my foot # and inch # torque wrences are calibrated and match my partners. That way we know they are right.
