Default Good advise wanted please!

Can anybody please give me some advise how I will fit the sump gasket whitout getting a oil leak after?

I bought a rubber gasket on ebay and followed the instruction from Hanyes manuel but still its leaking. Have anybody tried gasket on tube (silicon)?

Notoriously a pain in the arse job. Do a search in this room for sump gasket and you'll find loads of little tips for getting it right.

LMFAO
Biggest ball ache of a job ever, with the quality of pattern sumps, gaskets, oil pumps, and rear main seal housings, nothing lines up 100%.

My advice.. if the engine is in then a little bit of superglue to fix the gasket to the bottom of the block then fit sump, do not over tighten the bolts and go round a few times re-torquing them..... then pray lol
