Need help with gasket-

[Makaveli]

I've got several potential gaskets for this & not sure which is correct. This one here seems to be right, but the small bump on the side, doesn't jive. Do I just need to trim?

If that is the oil cooler housing that goes to the block delete that garbage and make oil changes clean and a breeze to do. Best thing I've done in a while for my Ty!

I've considered that. What's the downside though?

Long moments of wot! I would not do it since i've seen what temp does to oilpressure..

None really, maybe a slight change in oil temps but it's minimal at best. Your oil change is now 4 quarts also.

I think the "bump" is meaningless. Stick it up on the block, if it fits fine use it. If want trim it slightly but I'd just assemble the thing. The O-ring is what stops any leakage, Hopefully. All the gasket does is keep filtered oil and unfiltered oil separate. Note: lube the o-ring before the install and DON'T use any sealer in the gasket. Chances of getting some into the motor are to great and there's nothing to gain.

just run it, the bump shouldnt be a issue.

I would suspect that the "bump" is there to hold the gasket up in the block when you assemble the housing onto the block.
