forgive me in advance if im being a little bit nit picky but i just ordered an Edelbrock Performer intake for my 89 fox and was wondering what yall think about this gasket surface. near one of the threaded holes the surface dips down about 1/16" and seems to be a slight manufacturing flaw. should i contact summit racing/edelbrock and get a new one before i go out of my way to reinstall or is it just an insignificant flaw. i attached a pic of said surface.

With the flaw being on the outside of the screw hole I don't see it being an issue. The gasket will be flush against the upper and lower intake on all places that need to be sealed up.
