Undo more bolts to discover you can't get to the bolts above the starter, So that comes off as well.
Get the rest of the bolts out and the sump won't come past the oil pickup on the bottom of the filter. Luckily the Miloden sump has a removable baffle plate held in by 4 flat blade screws. Manage to reach inside sump to remove screws.
Needless to say the cutout in the baffle plate will be slightly bigger when it goes back in.

Craig, spoke to my mate that Drags a 350 powered Capri and Fiat 126. He said to use the one piece gasket. If not then just put a blob of silicone on the joints of the four piece gasket set.
