Hi Dave
I’m with Chris on this one. Leave well alone until you really need to do something. However you are going to need to have the sump and gauze strainer off sometime so I would wait until you do this.
A couple of tips for when you do.
1. Use a silicon gasket, applied dry. Recommended by many on this forum.
2. I put strips of steel plate (1/16” thick) in the well of the sump flange, shaped to fit in the well and around the corners and drilled to accept the sump set screws. This gives more support to the rather flexible sump flange.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Howard
