K 1.8 Sump Gasket - Drill new holes?

[viperbl]

I believe its best to drill some new holes in the sump gasket to help oil flow?

 

Don't suppose someone can tell me where abouts?

 

Cheers

Have you also removed the Devil's Spawn (sump foam) too ?

No, I was going to leave the foam, its still in good shape...

 

Why would I want to remove it???!

[oilyhands]

Because it breaks up, blocks the pickup and then your engine quickly destroys itself. I have seen 20 or so engines do this and a further 30 or so well on the way.

Sounds bad enough to me!

 

So, just remove and do not replace with anything?????

[Stationary M25 Traveller]

... and there's also the bashing-some-dents-in-the-face-of-the-oil-pick-up between the raised pimples to improve the oil flow.

 

Searching TechTalk will reveal this too.
