Have my first 914 with a "tuna can" sump and a front oil cooler.
Is the tuna can removed, cleaned etc. same as the stock screen during an oil change? Does it use the same sealing ring, compression washer as stock? Or do I need to find proper seal? Or should I just leave it alone?

Joseph, did you use a homemade gasket? Or do the stock gaskets and crush washer work?
Hate to take it off to find out I wish I hadn't. Also, the other way around.

Car will be autocrossed regularly, occasional DE, with R tires and 7x15's, so I hope to experience some lateral G's.

I used one of the two gaskets that comes in the kit.

Next time I remove it, I'm going to use a bit of axle grease on the gasket (this works well for my valve covers).

Yeah, put some lateral G's on it and watch the idiot light not come on - but be careful to not run into anything. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Now that Dave provided the torque specs, I'm gonna see if I tightened mine "properly". Ten pounds is not much...
