Rear main seal
Changing my clutch and noticed the cover plate that holds the rear main seal is leaking. I'm going to replace the gasket and seal while everthing is apart. What are the torque specs and is there a tightening sequence for the cover.

I think it's 18ft*lbs for the bolts into the block, and 109in*lbs for the bolts going into the cover from the pan. Go from the center out.
There are instructions here for the front cover (see the end of section 4) and the back cover is the same, don't forget the dab of RTV on the corners, just skip the part about the pulley:
