Scoped the pan and was surprised at the size of the silicone bead on the inside versus the outside. After I pulled the pan I saw what was going on. The FVD pan flange is much wider than the engine case edge. For this reason, it’s hard to know where to lay down a (very) narrow bead of flange sealant on the pan flange.

I can’t work on the car again before Monday but at that time I’ll clean everything up and attempt to lay a very narrow bead of sealant down centered directly on the engine case. That way I’ll ensure alignment between the engine case and the pan flange. Then I’ll try bolt everything up before the bead drops.
