Rusty! Thank You for the fast response! I'm over here freaking out about this. It's nice to know there are always people in here willing to help.

Just to be clear:
Remove the oem gasket first, use a flat file gently across the entire front surface to even it all out. Then use the rtv to seal it properly.

Fast learner. If you have a file that is wider then the surface width. Use that. Less chance of creating a low spot.
