Unhappy Should I re-seal it again?

I have just torqued down the cylinder head & the cam tower.
As I looked at all the sealing surfaces again, I noticed that there's a small amount of Loctite 574 that's seeping out from all areas except one "stud" - its around the exhaust stud on cylinder 2.

I was pretty sure that I had good amount of sealant everywhere but withiout seeing that organge seam, I'm now wondering if I should remove the CAM tower and do it again?

Its probably another 2-3 hours of cleaning & re-installation, but I'm 99% sure. So.... what to do???

Obviously you'll have to be the judge. If you think you had a continuous bead around the stud then it should be ok even if there wasn't enough to squeeze out the edge. You could dab a little sealant along the edge (probably hi temp silicon rubber would work) to make yourself feel better.
