Clean Sump
Cleaning out the inside of the sump was mucky but none of the stuff inside was stubborn.
The baffle plate that the oil pick up goes though is swaged/ rivited in place. I really would like to take it out to ensure the unreachable bits are clean too but not sure if it's worth it. At the same time I don't like the idea of the now soapy, water oil mix remaining in there.
The old gasket had rusted a bit and become welded to the ali so I had to re-finish the sealing surface with some wet and dry. on the bottom right it was pretty bad so I'll need whack some extra RTV sealant on that bit
