I first glued the ends of the seal together with a dab of the 518 on each end and put retainer in place (dry fit retainer with seal ends 6 and 12 oclock) by letting retainer self locate over the seal. let is dry overnight With retainer in place and now is good time to confirm the 2 oil pan threaded humps will not hit 5 main cap. You may need to fix those 2 "humps" for more clearance later.

Note: picture is out of sequence. Used this pictuer to show "humps" which may hit #5 main cap.
