Hello List:
In removing and replacing my sump pan, the bolts fastening the pan did not
have any washers on them.  The various catalogues show a washer; wondering
if this should be a spring (lock) washer or a flat type?  Washers make
sense to me in this application.  Wondering if the PO just left them off.
As well, I have always used Permatex aviation grade gasket sealer for such
applications.  Would you coat both sides of the sump pan gasket in this
application?

Many thanks in advance for any advice.
