So I finish installing the lifters (Lightning)and I'm starting to button-up the engine. I applied RTV underneath the head-to-manifold gasket but in my haste forgot 2 apply a bead on top of the gasket: FUCK . Anyway I guess I should be happy the cork gaskets didn't move . Would u fellas worry about this??? I, naturally, didn't realize my PH***-UP until I had torqued the mounting bolts. I really don't wanna pull the lower manifold off.

Thanks [Worship] .
