I'm nervous because I have half the factory bolts to mount the cover but I have no leaks so everything seems to be working. There is no torque or screw sequence listed with the lid, but I used a combined torque of 45/89 inch pounds from center to ends and center to edges, which worked. FYI, you cannot install or replace the VCT without removing the cover. The company really needs to increase the service port for the VCT. The product looks great and seems to be holding up with no leaks, warping or overheating issues.
