Sump sealant etc
Im gathering bits and info for assembling my 4.6 engine and wanted to know the best approach when it comes to the sump.
Use a cork gasket and stick it to the sump overnight or just go with a good quality sealant on its own?
Ive read about sealing the rearmost 2 bolts, maybe I will put some studs in here to aid alignment.
Any tips are appreciated, same questions go for the water pump and front covers.

there is a rubber that i use....but you cant use it with the GEMS timning cover as the front holes are different.
But if you have the old rover v8 sump pattern like me....then here it is.

i have one on my 4.6, just don't over tighten it, as it can crush, but its re-useable too.

It was a few years ago and off the internet. I cannot find the receipt now but I kept on searching and found this rubber one where they said it would never leak. Not very helpful, I knowjenand40 wrote:A sump gasket guaranteed not to leak!
Where can I get one from?
