cork sump gasket

I've just looked on Mike's website and seen that he sells a cork sump gasket. Has anyone got any experience of these? I always seem to lean towards using too much sealant, so this is appealing to me.

Loctite black works for me from halfords not cheap but cheaper and easier than scrubbing the drive :)

Iv used high temp black silicone Volvo sealent which has worked fine, and also used the cork gasket - I put silicone on aswell though lol just not as much, both worked

I might do this to, gasket and a smidge of sealent. I just can't help but put way too much sealant on:ashamed: I'm always thinking I don't want it to leak I'll put a bit more on :sad2:

The gaskets don't work to well. I went through a couple and they both leaked.
Loctite black sealant sorted it and we binned the gaskets.

I am with Marc, replaced my sump a few years back with cork type and the fecking leaked constantly, ended up removing and just using the Loctite sealant I always used previous and no leaks

Also very important detail to tighten the sump in the correct order and to the right torque. I don't have the torque specs. But I can find out if necessary.
