Sump gasket - Tiger - 27-10-2018
I am sure you are fed up with this question but what’s the best method to achieve a
Seal on the Ruby sump.
Bearing in mind removal for oil change.

Silicone sump gasket from Jamie at Seven Workshop, no need to use messy unsightly goo.

Zeto is there a part number for that gasket from Seven Workshop? It isn't listed on their online catalog.

How many times do you take your sump off ? With modern oils and regular changes, I would remove and clean the gauze perhaps every 50,000 miles.

Tim,
Why would you want to take the sump off for an oil change?

So no need to clean the filter ?
Only after high mileage

Tim.
The "Filter" is a fine wire mesh, which does no more than preventing the odd nut and bolt, twig, or fag end from getting into the pump! Once you have an oil tight sump leave well alone, a regular oil change is all you need.
Sumps tend to leak because they have been over tightened, which tends to distort the flange around each stud hole, make sure that it is perfectly flat before fitting.
