Also, be careful with the torque you use to re-install the new one or
your repair.   I think it is pretty low torque and you have a pattern to
follow when snugging the fasteners up to specs.    I used some goo to hold
my gasket in position, forget what, super black stuff....Don't put on too
much because the squeeze-over, if you do, that can clog something in your
oiling system....
