The clutch cover and water pump fit perfect to the new cases. The new clutch cover dowels were a little tight but after some assembly lube they went in ok. I torqued the clutch and water pump cover bolts in a crisscross 3 step pattern to 7 foot pounds. Tonight I will do a leak down test on the engine. The forks should be here in the next two weeks.
I found that the black oxide bolts would rust up fairly quickly, but the solution I found was to use naval jelly/rust converter to turn the oxidation from red back to black. Just something to consider.

No problem, I know how much the little details matter to you. I had installed socekt bolts on my GS750 with polished cases so it jumped right out (plus I live in Seattle...). I don't think it was exactly naval jelly (been a number of years), but whatever liquid rust converter I had on hand.

Default Intake Air Leak at Moose Torque Reed Spacer and VForce

I was doing a leak down test and I am having an air leak at the intake. I have an air leak around the Moose Torque Reed Spacer and a smaller leak from the VForce. What about applying Yamabond 4 or Yamabond 5 to the gaskets? Ideas?

With similar leaks I've used 3Bond which I assume Yambond will be same.

If you are concerned about the gasket, maybe consider some synthetic grease instead of an adhesive. It would help the gasket swell a touch and provide a tacky surface that should adapt to any irregularities on the bonding surfaces.
