And this will mean the sump needs to be loosened to allow me to get it back in and possibly use it to push the gasket up far enough to line everything else up.

I guess that is to be expected for a engine which is engineered well beyond what is really needed for a street car.
Hmmm, this makes sense. I guess I will just leave it and hope it doesn´t leak...but what with replacing every other seal on the engine...makes me sad not to do this one...grrrr...haha

Does anyone experience it to leak??
