anyone recomend the type or make that i require to put sump cover back on.

I`ve got good results on the metal to metal joints with Permatex black RTV.

thanks

Inge knows his stuff, or you could according to the BMW K100 manual:


Oil sump - installing
The sealing faces on the crankcase bottom section must
be free of oil and grease. Apply a thin coat of Three Bond
1207 B to the sealing faces. Offer up the oil sump.
Uniformly tighten the oil sump retaining screws (arrows).
Install the drain screw with a new sealing ring.
Tightening torque:
Retaining screws 7 ± 1 Nm
Drain screw 32 ± 4 Nm

anything i should use to clean the metel to metel with to ensure all grease oil dirt off. sorry but first time for me a novice

Brake cleaner.
