026 Case gasket

[Aggie2012]

Split this 026 over the weekend because because both bearings were shot.

Installed new ones as well as new seals (hopefully I didn't drive these seals in to far)

All went together as planned, used oem bearings, seals, and gasket (also added some loctite 518 to the gasket for some added insurance) but my question has to do with the case gasket.

Is it suppose to stick out this much from the case?
Should I trim the excess or just not worry about it.
The crank does not hit it upon rotation.
