Is it ok to do this?
I got my exhaust manifold seperated from the head, but only enough to slide the gasket in there. Is it ok to split the gasket where the white tag is?

It would make it alot easier to get into place. I figured it would be ok because it's not a sealing surface, but i'd just like to make sure.

I did this when rebuilding my motor, when the engine was out and on the stand
it was very clear that if they are left compelete that they will be off somewhat, it's something you have to see to understand, one would be centered over the exhaust port while the other two were slightly off, even trying to push them down on the studs you can see that they don't fit perfectly when in-tact.
