Is there a tried and tested method for fitting the pinto sump gasket?? mine has popped out like Jordan in a 32b! I have whipped the engine out and want to get it right any advice appreciated.

i did it like it says in the haynes manual, no problems yet, use plenty of sealent around the front and rear seals

i always glue mine to the block but you have to get the end bits fitted to the block right

red hermatite - seals and sticks. Once stuck use some really long (50mm) bolts to align the sump to the block, stops you dragging the gasket off, fix it up with the right bolts and then swap over the long ones for the right ones... this method worked on a warped sump pan with no probs or leaks!!

Cheers chaps
