Raceline sump uses the old style silvertop standard sump gasket. Same style 'rubber' sausage as the cam cover gasket and not the blacktop upper sump gasket. FIESTA ESCORT MONDEO 1.6 1.8 2.0 ZETEC SUMP GASKET | eBay

I would advise getting a pucker ford one. The looky likey one I got was not a good fit. Not floppy enough

As posted above the Raceline sump uses the standard Silvertop sump gasket. You do need a small bit of sealant at the 4 points where the front and rear covers and gasket cross.

Do not use a pattern gasket, they leak and turn to Gorilla snot. Buy a genuine Ford one, only cost pence more.

Same applies to cam cover gaskets.
