sump baffle plate

Fitted and now leaks oil torqued up two gaskets. Any ideas its flat, thinking of taking it out as it never leaked before.





Think about it, think about it again and then do it.

Are you using plenty of gasket paste to put it back on with? And a decent gasket?

What I did with a crank scraper was to use Hylomar and seal it to the block
Then seal the gasket to the sump setting overnight
When set I smear a thin layer over the gasket and put the bolts in lightly, leave over night
Remove bolts one by one the next day, smear thread and bolt face with sealant then torque up in designated order
Bolts are usualy tightened to only a few Ft/Lbs

A bit gasket paste fully torqued up. May need to strip back and put it on thick.
