So I installed new head gaskets on my 2.9l. That went well, but I don't think I did the LIM properly. First of all, there is a 1/8inch gap between the manifold and where you supposed to put the RTV. Here are pics of front and back. Is this normal? If so, I don't think I used enough RTV.
Here are front and rear views where the LIM "meets" the block.
Also, the gasket it not centered right. It protrudes on one side.
So, is this a total re-do? Help this amateur engine builder please.
