I was looking around the engine and I noticed that right below thecam chain tensioner on the rear of the motor there is a half circle which looks like the half circle below the valve cover which is filled in by a gasket that I just replaced. When I stick my finger in the half circle below thecam chain tensioner i feel the gasket but its sticking in about 1/2 inch. Should the cam chain tensioner gasket be sitting flush with the head like the valve cover gasket is. I wish I could get my pictures to upload. But all of you who have replaced these gaskets will know what I'm talking about. Thanks

 

As long as its not leaking there, it should be ok.
