One more question: everyone suggests to “glue” the gasket to the block prior to install. What’s wrong with “gluing” it to the pan instead? It seems easier. I will put a dab of sealer on each corner of the end seals first.

I suggest you install as stated in my first post before trimming. That way you will know the seal is pressed all way in its groove. Then trim otherwise once pressed all way in it may be too short.
