  The PO put gallons of sealer around the pan/ sump and over tightened all
the bolts. They are all raises and .if  I put a flat rule between holes, I
can notice at least 1 or more mm gap.

I am thinking of using a nut and bolt with a few washers to hopefully make
the bolts holes flat again. Are there any other good simpler ways to do
this. I don't want to hammer them as I think I will do more damage.

 I wonder if there is a market for "silicone" pan gaskets much like the val=
ve cover gaskets that work out so well.
