Diff Cover bolt tightening sequence?

Anyone know what the correct sequence is?

Your sequence will be a star pattern. Fingertight each bolt and start at 12, then 6, and so on.

 

Thank you

there's no gasket being crushed, or support being established. Really it doesn't matter. Just even around so the silicone sits nice.

 

Worked out very well...thanks...ended up using "the right stuff RTV" as opposed to the Ultra Grey. The tube I bought from Wally was frozen solid. This won't be the first time.

I would still adhere to an even torque sequence so as not warp and or crack the cover.
