^ if you need to ask "how do i do that" use a magnet :thumb:

or just do them up by feel..... its not that much of a challenge.

Best way to get them to seal is to put a bead of RTV (or similar) sealant around it, nip them up, then tighten further the following day.

Tightening the bolts when the sealant is wet/new simply oozes it out so theres practically none left between the gasket & sump.
