my torque wrench only goes to 260 ftlbs so i did that. i must have had dodgey bolts cos i snapped the heads off two of them and might go to plan B.
Plan B - Can i make a gasket using chemi weld?

Probably should do them to 700, just to be sure, youd look like a real dick if your sump fell off.

I hope you are kidding..
Unless my service manual is incorrect it says between 7.5 and 8.5 foot pounds.
Cheers.

Thanks superscan. Hopefully this will solve the problem.
I ran the grinder over the lip too so it should be nice and flat too.

funny you should say that as we had to either fit a catch can or an expansion tube to the case breather and a locking dipstick on our power glide so fluid wont end up on the track in the event that it may boil
