Do you happen to know what the instructions for the BS40640 say? I looked online and I can't find any. I just bought this Fel Pro gasket and there were no instructions whatsoever inside the package. I can't return it now because I already opened it

So what is the final answer here? I am doing a clutch swap and wonder if I should even mess with my rear main. I don't think I have any leaks right now, and have about 70k on the clock right now. What do you think? Thanks for all the help.
