Just saying I think I have bought the wrong M6x20's as they are countersunk (if that is what i have described).  Not actually tried them yet, but was worried they would not do up properly being this way as ones .  Went with M6x20 as i am going to a rubber gasket.

If they are countersunk, send them back unopened they wont work
You want socket heads, wind them in without the sump on to see if they are too long then cut them down if required :smiley:

See when you go to remove the sump. Start with the ones between the gearbox and sump, they are the most awkward and its better to find out then that you dont have the correct tools before you remove the other 17 or whatever easy bolts ;)

Not kidding me....those two were a bugger!

I went with the cork board gasket and reused the original ones in the end.  So far no leaks.

Just got sort my rocker seal grommet and the leak on the clutch release cover and I am there!

Finally the wife may give me some peace about the oil on drive  :rolleyes:
