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....
