Right,

I had the car ready for mot the other day and all of a sudden the sump gasket went, i think i over compressed it by going round and round the sump torquing it up.

Fine,

Just spend today changing the gasket and doing a few other small jobs and initially all seemed well, then.... massive leak

This time from around the crank seal carrier (fly wheel end), i stuck the gasket to the sump first, didn't over tighten anything (slightly over hand tight) urrrrrrrgggh!! Looks like the gasket slipped slightly on the half moon.

So, looks like i will have to wait until next weekend and do it all over.

What tips do people have? do i use sealant in the mating surfaces or not?

What torque setting should i use?

How many times should i re torque each bolt?

Cheers
