[QUOTE="starnsey, post: 14712208, member: 132253"] Well I guess the primary trick is to use the provided studs and nuts. I decided to just follow the Canton instructions which are to apply RTV between tray and block then gasket underneath tray, then oil pan. I had to remove the little nubs from the gasket as stated. Just used a razor blade for that. I would say there is a near 100% chance of leaking. A) because I just assume it ended up being too easy to not bite me in the ass: RTV held the windage tray up really easily. And B) because the moronic previous owner stripped, to some extent, three of the front bolt holes. They weren't stripped entirely but I could not torque the nuts down to the required 20 ft-lbs on those three. I'm just hoping by some miracle there's enough torque on them in addition to the properly torqued nuts to prevent leakage but I'm not feeling optimistic.
