I've bought the rubber gasket from wins international.....am willing to see how it works when I re-assemble the engine.
Think I do need to look at the warp of my sump flange, a little more seriously this time, as it could be my biggest problem with sealing.
I hate oil leaks.....any leak in fact.....my biggest hate of my engine is to see anything leaking......think I need professional help.....

Like Perry Stephenson , I use sealant along with a Cork gasket, the only difference is, I use a VW sealant called Dirko. The advantage of this sealant I'd that when you come to remove the sump a light clout withave a rubber males breaks the seal , what is more, the old gasket /sealant is easily removed with a sharp scraper .

I often get berated by a mate of mine who works on big high power turbine generators. He always says.. "Gasket on its own or sealant with no gasket"
To be honest, having used Right Stuff sealant for years I would happily use it on its own with no gasket on a sump pan if I needed to.

Pretty much ^ quite a few savvy with the spanners TVR RV8 owners just use the Dirko (no gasket) and applied correctly causes no issue its over zealous use of silicone that can cause issues with break away and ending up blocking the oil strainermgbv8 wrote:I often get berated by a mate of mine who works on big high power turbine generators.

I just replaced the tappet cover gasket on my Td5 Discovery and used Victor Reinz HiTemp sealant which seems to be holding well, so far with no leaks.
