OK, I just had dub. nut the sump studs to pull them out... I had to keep the pickup tube stud in so I didnt lose the bolt but it did turn down enough for me to use when I am ready... I removed the rest and will install with blue locktight sor the scat sump plate I bought (thicker)... The oil screen is broken I think... you tell me... Or does that part pop out? Looks almost new. And what do you think on the chip? JB weld or cover it and forget it? thanks guys

First layer went on today, had a hard time keeping the JB Weld in the divet, I ended up folding some aluminum foil till it was about 6 layers... then I forced it onto the case edge till it was as tight as I could get it.. I pushed the JB Weld back into the divet and then put the foil on top... then put something on it and backed it up against a bag to hold it in place... I hope it works out OK... Once dry I will add another layer to complete the job (pics will follow at this stage... I will then do some final sanding to grinding or filing to get it where I need it. Pics at that stage too. At least it’s not through the case it’s just a matter of reforming the edge... Next case I buy will be apart and open with nothing attached so I can inspect better... |

These are pics of where I am right now... 3 coats and might be final... other than cosmetic I don’t know that it needs to be much better (thoughts?)... Also note: it’s still wet in these pics.       I could round it up a bit more... and smooth it over... but it may be fine as is. |

as long as the surface is flat enough to seal off and not leak it looks fine to me |

Do you think I should use a sealant when I put it back together as well? I think its ready, I rounded off the one last little divet and all I need to do not is clean it up... |

Just put the plate and screen back on... I have it snugged up pretty good by hand... is the torque still the same 5-9 LB's for the scat cnc plate? My torque wrench only goes to 10... dont want to over do it... I think I will snug them up tight and see what happens.. I have one that is questiable anyway... I need longer studs for the other 5... |

Found the studs at Ace Hardware... hardend m6 1.0 about 1.5 inches... little blue lock tight and they are in nice and tight... this one is a done deal... my rocker parts came in today so I will get hat going this weekend I think... Hope that goes well (still waiting on the shims). |

Yes thin coat of Black rtv on all surfaces. Then you will be almost guaranteed to not have leaks...
