 The last twice I have had my sump off I have sealed it with Blue Hylomar and never had a leak

Zeto is there a part number for that gasket from Seven Workshop? It isn't listed on their online catalog.

How many times do you take your sump off ? With modern oils and regular changes, I would remove and clean the gauze perhaps every 50,000 miles.

Tim,
 Why would you want to take the sump off for an oil change?

So no need to clean the filter ?
Only after high mileage

Tim.
The "Filter" is a fine wire mesh, which does no more than preventing the odd nut and bolt, twig, or fag end from getting into the pump! Once you have an oil tight sump leave well alone, a regular oil change is all you need.
Sumps tend to leak because they have been over tightened, which tends to distort the flange around each stud hole, make sure that it is perfectly flat before fitting.
