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)?

aslong as the mating faces are clean and you tighten the bolts evenly you shouldnt get any leaks,

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
