Ok I'm trying to put the intake back on and it's leaving a gap after all the bolts are tightened. This picture is after I untightened the bolts, but the gap is pretty much the same size regardless if the bolts are tightened or not. When I removed the intake 6 months ago, there was no seal there, just left over sealant and there wasn't any gap.
Its an Edelbrock RPM Air Gap so I looked up installation so I knew the torque specs (18-20 ft/lbs)

It says not to use cork or rubber end seals and only RTV sealant. The new gasket I got came with these rubber end seals. Should I just say heck with it and use them anyway? I don't see how to eliminate that gap unless I use the end seals.
