To complete my oil pump checking job properly I've been advised to fit the proper nuts to the plate, as I just had normal nuts. I've got a set of these:
So my question is, which way round do these go? Does the red ring go against the plate of the oil pump? It's for a DG 1.9.
Thanks
Mark

Standard nuts and yellow head sealant too because it's normally available at the time of the build.

I use stainless nuts and m8 dowty washers (these have a bonded rubber inside seal.)
