Leaky zetec sump gasket
Hi guys,
Finished shortening sump and so forth, putting my engine back together i replaced the sump gasket between the block and the ali part of the sump. I
over filled the engine with oil to keep it fresh/check for leaks and there is oil coming from between the ali part of the sump, and the block, when I
tilt the engine forward, and back, it gets worse. I used the burton sump gasket if that makes a difference. Also, it stops doing it when oil is at a
normal level?
Is this normal, or do I need to use the original ford sump gasket.
(its a blacktop with the 2 part sump... I also replaced the rear crank seal and the gunge between the steel and ali parts of the sump. All of this is
not leaking)
Any idea's/help greatly recieved, Jason
How hard can it be?

Did the old gasket use the ford spec RTV sealant like on the joint between the alumnium and steel parts of the sump?
