3. Short section of gasket where the longer/rounded/thicker/leg was damaged, probably during my removal.
Before I removed the gasket, it was in the "A" position, which may have contributed to the longer leg getting caught in some of the sealant.
Research on possible replacement gaskets seems to indicate they are installed in the "B" position, which would appear to create a better seal.
Would appreciate feedback on whether A or B is correct, or did some tech in the mists of time just use what was on hand in his shop?
If I replace this in the B position, will the slight damage shown in photo 3 be of significant concern?
(M60A3Driver is that beautiful black cowl the result of the Mequiars or paint and Meguiars?)
The correct position should be "B". Look at my pics and see if you agree. This was the first time my cowl was removed.
By the way, I painted the cowl and Used McGuire's Ultra Black on all of the rubber and plastic pieces before I reassembled everything.
If you're on the fakebook Crossfire forum I have a bunch of posts of the work I did on my car. I'm Giovanni Pace on there. The pics are from a post I did on replacing the alarm siren.
