You also need to clean both sides were the gasket sits or you will have to replace it again in a couple of days. just dropping the sump a couple of cms is no good mate.

As long as the sump can be lowered a few cms. onto the cross-member, you should be okay.

But, you'll need to remove all of the old gasket, and ensure that all mating surfaces are 'clinically clean' before carefully refitting.

Let us know how you get on mate!
