Yes you can buy a gasket in singles, i changed the washers too as the old ones at the bottom were leaking oil. use good quality stuff like dirko high tempeature sealer you can get it at any motor factors. I left mine for 2 hours before driving it and its fine.

The sump has no gasket, as standard - You just use threebond (or similar) sealant to seal it to the block.

There is a GroupN cork gasket available if you want to use one, although I don't have the Part Number to hand.

Is it best to go the belts 'n' braces route - threebond AND cork gasket?

No!! I've always used Three bond and its always been spot on.

If using a gasket then use it ONLY on its own.

I thought that'd be the answer - either/or.
