they come in two parts mate as it has a baffle plate in between the two gaskets. i find it better to get some gasket sealer and put the gaskets in place before putting sump back on as it can twist round and give ya gip. hopefully that helps. and bolts are meant to be torqed 2 8nm just over hand tight. have done many of these.
