Great write-up, There's one more thing you can do to make it even easier. I use replaceable gaskets by Lube Locker. They work great and you dont have to use RTV. So no scraping it off. As I said there reusable. One guy I know has used it over 10 times now. They're great. They cost about $27.00 and are well worth it. Just thought this might help.
