[TR] TR3 oil pumps and oil pans

[Tony Drews]

If you are replacing the cork seals on the side of the sealing block, be 
aware that the current ones are too large.  Cut them down to fit the 
cavity in the sealing block with a sharp knife - leaving the side to 
stick up above the main gasket sealing surface.  After installation, 
trim the cork sticking above the main oil pan gasket sealing surface.

Regards, Tony Drews
