Last time I replaced the cork gasket between the block and the oil sump was about eleven years ago when my engine was rebuilt. The process was quite easy when the block was on an engine stand upside down. This time the engine is in the car and I will need to remove and remount the gaskets and aluminum sump from below. I have a lift so I am figuring that I will place the lift (4 post) on its lowest height setting, slide under the car, and use my floor jack to support the sump as it comes down and to lift it back to the block to reseal.
Is it best to use an adhesive between the cork gasket and block and then something like hylomar between the gasket and the sump? If there is a better gasket sealant to use please advise.
Any other tips are appreciated.
Moss doesn’t show the felt plugs as being available. AH Spares sells them separately. I do need these don’t I? I assume two for the front main and two for the rear main? I am puzzled as to why they wouldn’t be sold with the kit by Moss.
Thanks!
