...they say ***40 lbs*** torque... But the metal inside frame starts BENDING way before the gasket squeezes down...
Forty FOOT Pounds is not correct! INCH pounds maybe, but that many foot pounds is twice the torque for spark plugs, and half way to tightened lug nuts on a car. Would distort the roof, bend the A/C pan...
Firm, even, to the gasket about half compressed with even spacing between A/C and roof, front to rear and side to side.
