That's what I thought, I remembered seeing those slits but it didn't cross my mind until now. I'll probably just take the valve cover off and redo everything so I know it's right. Might as well put the new Iridiums in while I'm at it
I need to buy a water temp gauge tonight so I can tell when it's running at normal operating temperature and to make sure it's not overheating. My temp gauge in my cluster goes kinda crazy sometimes, as is the story with the stock temp gauge I hear.
