So I checked my other 2 and they are both the first style rtc-318a the one im using must have came off my 318 it was an 86 year model. But I did the block of wood trick and it worked its flush now and I put some more rtv in the crack I think it will be ok now

U can’t leave all that sealer in there. It will eventually come off and go thru the motor. Kim
