Check it at all the angles with your straight edge. "Old Blue" 91 Talon TSi AWD "Super Enthusiast" 91 Talon TSi AWD Checkout DSMFAQ.com!

On my 1G flange, I use RTV Silicon gasket maker together with OEM gasket and it never leaked on me. Same goes on my TB and IM. 1996 Eagle Talon TSi AWD 1999 Eclipse GST Automagic 1991 3000GT VR-4

Don't "clean the crap" out of it, as you will likely make it LESS flat than it is now. Sand LIGHTLY to check for lumps/bumps, and check flatness.

Buy latex gloves and a little acid brush also. It is a bitch to wash off. "bluebird" worlds fastest scooter ridden by me "Whitebird" RIP
