Hey guys, simple issue here but I want to be cautious and get things spot on...

I have a set of Tyga 'Hi Flo' reeds here. I have taken the old ones out and removed the old gasket. My issue is with the reinstallation process.

What way should the new gasket be oriented? I.e. should the green side (with the black ridges) be facing down and against the cases, or up against the valve holder body?

Secondly, should I use an oil or grease when reassembling, or should I fit dry? I don't want to wing it and risk a leak.

Opinions?

Put it in dry are both the sides of the gasket flat because some times one side is a bit rounded on the side of the gasket have this facing up

Thanks for that. And does anyone know the correct torque settings for the 8 bolts than lock in the rubber cover?

Search the forum since there's a very precise description on torque setting for this part by Matt@tyga.

He describes how over torquing leads to air leaks.

I followed his instructions and got a healthy power curve.
