318 rebuild Bonehead mistakes/misses and questions

I use RTV only at the junction of the cork and rubber seals (and in the odd area where the rubber seal doesn't quite match the pan).

I also carefully inspect the gasket with respect to where the bolt holes are drilled.
The last one I did had a noticeable misalignment on all four holes nearest the areas where the cork and rubber meet. That would have caused the bolts to move the gasket if I had left it alone...right in the area that's most prone to leak anyway.

Those are some interesting torque equalizers on those front corner pan bolts.
Were those already on the motor?
