Changing sump gasket

[ashbash107]

Is this pretty straight forward to do? Just frail the oil, remove the turbo oil
Pipe and unbolt the sump, clean and replace?

Any tips or advice on this? Thanks

if its on a starlet there is no gasket

TIP put liquid gasket on sump and block leave to HALF dry then screw on leave to cure for anothr 6/12 hours depending wich sealant u use

E series do not use sump gaskets.
Remove exhaust and cross member. Do not apply the sealant with your finger but apply a continuous 5mm bead in the middle of the sealing surface.
Clean all sealing surfaces with a degreaser or alcohol.

I did it last week.

I had my exhaust off already so it was pretty simple.

Remove the oil return hose.

Unscrew all the bolts except for 2 in the middle, only unscrew them halfway as it will catch the sump when you remove it.

After it's all removed, get a rubber mallet and slowly tap all the edges until it loosens and falls (the 2 bolts u left on will catch the sump).

While you have it out, take off your oil pickup pipe (mounted by 3 bolts) and get it a clean before re-sealing.

I sealed mine with copper gasket glue and tightened it 60% then left it overnight and tightened it up to 100% the following day and left it another day before actually turning the car on (I'm a bit anal about the whole deal of glue setting and what not so it's not necessary to do it for 2 days lol).
