It shoiuldn't be necessary. The gasket should lock it in place. I've never had them come lose. BTW, 72s came with a "blank" sump plate, no plug. VW wanted to make sure you removed and cleaned the strainer. I always do this, but I usually install an older plate with the plug if I'm rebuilding a late engine. It's just a lot less messy if you can drain out the oil before you start removing the plate. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
