im not sure about the torque specs but there is a gasket for the starter and the recoil housing uses silicone.you will need a starter block off plate if you remove the starer,i think hpd sells them..

 

Without looking at it, is it somthing that can be made easily? I am in the Tool and Die trade.

 

yes it can be easily made,after looking through my tools i found a puller and it worked perfect.but now thats its off i cant seem to screw the nut back on,i dont wanna force it.im going to run a thread chaser over it but was wondering if any of you know the thread size and pitch?its 5/8 im pretty sure.

 

I meant the block off plate? Would that be make ealily?

 

that shouldnt be a problem either,as long as you have the tools and the skills to make it..
