I noticed from looking at the stock pan the bead of Ultra Grey (or whatever the factory uses) spilled over in to the pan when it was compressed to the upper pan when it was all originally assembled. So I guess I don't have to worry about doing the same when I reassemble everything. I was originally worried about some bleeding over inside when I compressed the two together. I'm surprised this isn't a concern.

You always get some that squeezes in. Best thing to do is not put any oil in the motor until the RTV has cured. Which is about an hour. Longer if you want to feel safer. This keeps the RTV together.
