Yes, I used a new gasket set from FelPro and even smeared some copper RTV on it. Part of the problem is accessing the screw to tighten it. The way my headers sit, they block all access from above. To get to it from below, you have to reach around and over the torsion spring and header tubes. Plus the only wrench I had big enough to fit is an adjustable Crescent.
And replacing the oil filter is another trick. I have to set it in from the top and rest it on the header tubes, then go under the car to lift it up and thread it on. And I can't pre-fill the filter with oil because it would all spill out by the time I get it where it needs to be. It makes a 10 minute oil change last another 30 minutes.
