After I rebuilt my Aerovee my oil pump leaked. I tried fixing it with just sealant, but it would not stop leaking. I ended up putting a gasket coated on both sides with a very thin coat of Permatex gray silicon. Didn't leak after that for 135 hours when I sold it.

Why go to all that trouble. If you put a 1/2 inch adaptor on your torque wrench and use the open end/box end wrench at 90 degrees, you can torque those nuts behind the intake manifold without all the calculations.

i can confirm -- this works like a charm, at least for me it worked great
