I guess what I was trying to say was I was taught that you stick your 
finger in the fresh oil, run it along the gasket, thread it on until it 
seats then turn it as tight as you can with your hand. Never use a 
wrench on it.

BTW Good to hear that you had a great trip to NZ. You seem to have come 
back all refreshed and as sharp and witty as you always have been. I've 
always hoped to make a riding vacation in the Alps but after reading 
your comments I've set my sights on NZ.
