Sump gasket

[Zetomagneto]

All the fixing holes for the sump are blind.
After consideration I have fitted oblong washers.
The sump flange and crankcase joint are perfectly clean.
Also dressed the flange to get as flat face as possible.
Using A7 workshop paper casket with cement.

PS one way oil could seep along the studs is if the inner joint face fails
providing a route to the stud thread .

Many thanks for all the replies

If using goo, you might as well leave the gasket out then you only have 2 surfaces to seal, not 3.
Modern engines do not use a gasket, they use a sealant, I have used a Mazda sealant in the past on a Mazda MX5 it was very good stuff and the squished residue inside the engine does not easily break off.
The last thing you want is bits of sealant in the oil Jets
