Oil Pan Gasket

[1973_Scamp]

Hello FABO
I'm just about to mount oil pan onto an engine. Upon applying gasket and found there are gap in between (Red Arrows). Will this leak? it is a detroit Gasket. If it leak, any recommend gasket to have proper seal?

Thanks,

are those little 'tits' on each side of the oil pan pulled all the way through the holes? usually once installed, that gap closes up. I also put RTV under that whole thing.

My favorite gasket has been the Milodon crushproof gaskets.

never use sealer on rubber ends!

It does not look to me like the "tits" are pulled all the way thru the pan.
