I am running INDY -1 heads and removable center INDY valley tray. I know you need a bead of RTV on the tray before installing the heads but even with my heads installed, it appears I didnt put enough silicone on the tray. With the gap that is visible, I don't think I should use that much RTV. Can I maybe use clear silicone out of a caulk gun after the heads are installed and just forget about the RTV?

This thread may help you make some decisions on your tray. I use Grey RTV just cuz it blends in well with the color of the tray, but the grey is very hard to clean/scrape off, I may use black next time.

Mopar Gray RTV. Used it for years on my "home made" valley pan. Stuff sets up nice.
