Hi, we installed the rebuilt 2.0 motor back in the car today and ran into a little "glitch" those darn gremlins keep popping up. As you can see from the photo there's a gap of about an inch in one corner. The rest is OK. Two questions, did we do something wrong when we installed the seal or perhaps this is common and not such a big deal. Thanks in advance, you guys have all been a tremendous help.

Looks to me like the tin is bent downward. It's easy to have that happen when installing the motor if the tin gets hung up on something.
