Correct differential cover rtv procedure?
When applying rtv, do I want to put it on the pumpkin side or the cover? The cover has grooves where the rtv is supposed to fill. I was going to put it on the pumpkin side, but does it matter? Also I was gonna place a bead, finger tighten. Wait an hour then tighten half turn. Then torque down the next day. Thanks

Either side should work, but I always do the cover, way easier to apply in a bench as opposed to the part in the car. When I do them I tighten fully and let it sit as long as possible before filling. I do this on everything

That’s what I do, yes. For the record I do not know what the actual procedure calls for, but this is what I always do, and always have done.
