BSC2 dome bolts torqued

The bolts for the BSC2 dome were torqued.  The annulus system is being pumped by a small turbo and the tiny pump station which is up on the E-module.  

While I was up there, I also replaced a gasket and torqued a 4.5" blank on the gauge adapter ports metal-to-metal.  The blank was very gappy, so we wanted to eliminate the possibllity of any leaks.  See pics for before and after. Yet another flange that will need to be leak tested.
