The depth on those looks much better.
Got to agree with mike though, #2 doesn't look too good. It should
still hold but you will need to check for leaks.
That's why they make that tool ya know. :)
(fondly rememembering an old wrencher admiring my work)
Him (smiling): You do this fine work?
Me (all aglow with pride): Yep
Him (still smiling): It's ----, do it again and this time do it right.

Sounds like the elderly German immigrant who taught one of my shop
classes. He was a cabinet maker from Barvaria who proclaimed that
there were two ways to do every job: Right und over.
On older engines with any corrision a I usually put 3 or 4 dings
around the edge like that on purpose using a sharp punch to stake the
edges after they are seated, but I space the punches evenly all the
way around.
Man, the perspective on those shots has my eyeballs spinning. I would
have sworn they were installed with the dome out instead of in untill
I enlarged them!
