Crossflow Sump Gasket
Hi,
I've removed my sump to make a permanent repair after damaging it last year. When removed the sump had the standard cork gasket but this was
coated both sides with gasket sealant. When I replace the sump, should I use gasket sealant or just the new cork gasket?

Ditch the cork gasket and get the better type from Burtons . Cork always tends to leak my Burtons item has been used at least three times with no
signs of leaking.

Yes , it's worth every penny. I just give it a light coat of Hylomar and haven't had any leaks at all

even with a vork gasket, you should not need sealant other than to act as a bit of glue to hold it in place before you bolt on the sump.
need to check if mine leaks or not.
