Sump Gasket

Just about to refit the sump and I noticed that the replacement gasket I have has little rubber pillers which help hold the gasket in the right position. only prob is that my sump doesnt have the holes for these little fella's to fit into. I read on post that some sumps don't have a gasket and use RTV however am I ok to cut the litlle pillers off and use the gasket anyway? Symetricly it all lines up but I am not sure if the face of the sump is machined different when the changed the design.

no,just make sure clean with thinners or petrol etc

youve got a sump gasket for the thor engine with the alloy sump,i would just trim the tits off of it

Tits trimmed accordingly and gasket fitted. We'll know soon enough if it has worked.
