I cleaned up the cavities, maybe another 10 min, and in preparation compared the new cigarette seals to the old ones. Houston, we have a... The new seals are shorter by about 1/8" as shown on the last pic. This is not good as the oil sump is supposed to compress the cigarette seals. The old ones were about flushed with the block. This means the new ones will sit 1/8" into the block. It seems my only option will be to insert them and then add a sealant (something like Ultra Grey Permatex) to get the compression. I will also make sure to get a sealant into the crevesses.
Any thoughts?
