No offence but right screws or not if I find that the mating face of plastic is no longer flat then there will not be a proper seal against the gasket no matter what length of screw is used and as I said if they get over tightened then it makes the issue worse as the surface gets more deformed. My screws were 10mm The only other thing I could have done is used some blue hylomar gasket seal of either side of the gasket to make up for the non flat surface.

This was only one small issue which I used engineering principals to find out why it was happening and then decided on getting the aluminium option part to solve the problem. The car was really good to drive and put a smile on my face and I felt it was much easier to drive than some of the other brands of 2wd that I have driven to date and that is what is important here.
