With the new sealant I put a small bead all the way around and then use my finger tip to spread it to the entire contact surface area a rather thin coat - it doesnt take much and all the extra will squeeze out when tightening... but you do want to make surface the entire contact area has at least some coverage to be safe. Just before lifting the pan up, I would use a q-tip or small tool to extract most of the sealant that I can from the bolt holes... this will prevent too much of the sealant getting into the threads which can be troublesome and cause over-torqueing as it lubricates the threads. Go light on the oil drain plug... its just aluminum threads so it will not withstand over-torqueing too much. I can try and come up with a torque spec for it with some more testing but most people just do it be feel anyway. |

I have a stillen oil cooler (with bypass temp plate and bigger filter and Phunk's pan under there.
Question. Do you think the servicing opening in the Zspeed under tray will be big enough for me to change my oil??? (If not I might have a Zspeed tray for sale here soon)

I cannot comment about the accessibility of the oil filter with your setup... but I can say that the CJM oil pan has the drain plug on the opposite corner of the pan (rear driver-side). I believe that the drain plug location would be problematic for that access panel on your undertray.
However, since the drain plug is completely vertical on the CJM pan, a strategically placed 1.25" diameter hole-saw cut directly underneath the drain plug would allow you to quickly access the plug without having to remove the undertray again. Placement would be critical though to make sure the oil drains through the hole rather than streaming down the top of the undertray. A 19mm socket is 1" outside diameter, so perhaps a 1.5" hole would be more appropriate. Probably depends on how close the pan comes to the undertray... the further apart they are, the more margin needs to be provided for the trajectory of the draining oil.
