Thread: How much sealant (and where) when fitting sump gasket?

Sorry for clarification I mean where the red lines are

Have at look the General Information section of RAVE, under "Joints and Joint Faces"

When jointing compound is used, apply in a thin uniform film to metal surfaces; take care to prevent jointing compound from entering oilways, pipes or blind tapped holes

Thanks offtrack.

So can anybody confirm if that long red line is the right place for the long bead of sealant?

From memory when I did mine, 2 pea sized blobs on the two joins where the main rear crankseal is.

Don't remember putting any anywhere else.

EDIT My memory is bad, I did what was shown here http://www.discovery2.co.uk/Oil_pump_bolt.html
Two blobs at front cover joints & a bead on the rear crank seal

Thanks - is the rear crank seal where I drew the long red line?
