I've seen photos and videos showing the usual pattern for Gel seal application.
However, I'm curious on exactly the proper placement for the typical 1990 V4 crossflow motor.
Here is the photo of what I know and the possible placement drawn out in red lines via MS paint.
Getting questions answered while I wait on delivery of parts for re-assembly. I'm also doing the removal/cleanup of the mating surfaces and the block overall while I wait.
At the top and bottom, do you run the Gel seal all the way to the edge? I believe so since there's no lubrication channels that require that 1/4 spacing.
What about the spots with large surface area, like the bottom left?
If possible, post a revised/modified picture of the corrections in a different color. Annotations of details in the reply of why such a change was made would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
