I wouldn't expect it to go in between either. But if they just butt up to the outsides of the seal, what purpose does that serve and does that not make another point to leak from? I don't think I'm looking at it right but I'm trying to grasp it all. I couldn't find instructions anywhere either and the guy at Mancini didn't act like he knew exactly how they go in correctly. I called Dvorak and apparently the seals he used to get are no longer produced and they wouldn't even sell him the dies. But he very profoundly noted to make sure there was ZERO sealer or anything on the ends of the seals and to make sure to not put ANY sealer between the cap and the block. He said that the cap needs to be fully clamped down to provide the correct seal and adding any sealer prevents this. He also said do not clock the seals like some people do. His claim was that this will prevent the seal from keeping perfectly round when the cap is torqued, but I don't know much about that. So far, that's all I have to go off of.
