Max is correct. There is no gasket for the crankcase cover.
The specified sealant is Three Bond 1207 B or equivalent. Here is an Amazon link to it: [url=https://www.amazon.com/Three-Bond-Performance-Adhesion-Gasket/dp/B008BYPRRI/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2UL7H4Q8XGFEZ&keywords=threebond+1207&qid=1580335220&sprefix=Three+Bon%2Caps%2C159&sr=8-1]https://www.amazon.com/Three-Bond-Perfor...159&sr=8-1
Do not use silicone. It will not hold a seal. The manual specifies a specific place to put the sealant on the crankcase and then a full bead around the cover bypassing a certain spot at the top. This info is in section 17 of the service manual.
When removing the cover the engine oil will not drain out. A very small amount could be in there though.
There are 2 dowel pins. Don’t lose them and don’t forget to re-install them. Torque for the screws is not specified, just “tighten the bolts securely”. If that isn’t good enough for you, you have to use the standard torque values table in section 1 of the manual.
If you want to PM me a number I will take a quick picture of the pages and text them to you.
Max, regarding the CKP, there manual strangely doesn’t seem to bother checking coil resistance. Instead, they have the tech use a peak voltage tester. I didn’t google the part number to see what it looks like, but from reading the procedure it appears to be what the marine industry calls a DVA adapter (direct volt amp). They are available from CDI at least and are designed to plug into a Fluke meter. We use one a LOT at my friends boat shop.
You can google them. They only have 3 parts. A capacitor, a diode and a resistor. The cap has a fast charge time and slow discharge time. The diode does half wave rectification (IIRC) and the resistor provides a discharge path for the cap when you stop your test.
As the pulses occur, the cap charges until it reaches whatever value the pulses go to and you read it on the meter. The service manual says the value for ours is .7vdc minimum. And use a meter with impedance of 10Mohm/volt minimum.
The manual shows checking initially at the ECM connector. I’d consider removing the ECM connectors and reseating them first. Well, except in an above post the CKP coil appears to be open.
