I removed the cover under the engine for the oil strainer, cleaned out all the gunk and put it back on, tightened it carefully to the torque setting specified and now it is leaking.
There was no gasket under the cover - is that correct? How do you make a good tight seal, since you can't simply tighten it right up I believe? Richard |

If you're talking about the sump plate there are 3 gaskets. One goes against the case then you install the strainer. Add the next gasket and then the cover. The final one is the washer under the barrel nut. Tighten to NO more than 9 ft lbs.

The kit I have from the garage happens to be a Juntas Flexa #021.198 031 "Porsche" "gasket set oil change"

I have seen gasket sets with thin and with thick gaskets. Is there any difference? Seems the thinner are easier to cut with the sump plate. Leaks real good then.
