front seal

Just replaced the front main seal in an '82 sc. Only one potential problem. When you look into the top notch, the ribs of the seal got bunched up some (couple are touching and the others are wavy). Do I need to start anew??

This has happened to a small extent on both seals I've ever installed. I left them alone and they were fine. For some reason the rubber around the edge of the seal likes to "hang up" in the notch. You'll have to be the judge as to how bad the seal looks.
