What happened?

I went w/o goop the last time I went in there. Just put some oil on it & slapped it in,, I had to tighten the little bolts all the way to their limit. I had a small leak, lower/front area & was able to get the end wrench in behind everything & snug them the rest of the wway. I didnt like having to go that tight on such tiny bolts & knowing the threads they screw into are so important. So, much as I like the "No Goop" idea, I like the idea of knowing it will seal off with a lighter touch on the bolts. I know, mine survived, but I know what a bolt feels like when it reaches its "Im TIGHT Now" spot. I dont like taking one ALL the way there. A $15.00 gasket & time cleaning is what IM working to save,, & what happens when I shaft myself by stripping the threads inside the case? I got away with it on mine, once, but I wouldnt do it again. & Suzuki didnt spend huge sums to keep all the production equal, so MY case & bolts survived, will everyones? I dunno,, Take a run at it, but be careful.,Thankfully an 8 MM endwrench is short,,
