Changing primary cover

Changing primary cover
I got a new primary cover, James gasket, Harley manual. Glancing through the manual it doesnt seem to tell much about taking the cover off and replacing it. I am sure it is there but I like to get real life opinions.
The seems to be a wide preference of oil but it sounds that almost any 10/40 oil will do..
Do I need to put any gasket sealant on it or just straight gasket to metal will do.
Also I am getting my powercommander and high flow A/C from Fuel Moto today. Any thing I should know for the install and set up.
Needless to say I will be busy the next day or two while it is raining here. I can't wait to try it all out this weekend.

It appears you can run almost anything in the primary based on posts on this forum, and not have major issues.
While the same lubricant in all three holes is convenient and probably OK, each component has different needs/issues. My preference is to use the correct fluid for each component:
I use syn in the engine
I use primary oil in the primary (HD Formula1)
I use gear oil in the transmission
Just my preferences...
