😬 if your car rides as low as mine your be doing it sooner than you think. go for silicone, put the sump on and do it up hand tight , let the silcone cure overnight and tighten next day. dont overtighten tho. good luck

ended up going with gasket seal - what an 🙆🏻 of a job !

 

If anyone reading this can't work out why the sump snags on the oil pickup , it,s because you have to undo the bolt holding it to the bottom of the engine (you have to do this through an inch and a half gap). The sump then drops - then you have to get it all on again !!!

 

Anyway Sump is finally on as of 6.30 am, and just need to be filled , starter motor reattached and 50th all weekend.
