Oil Pan Gasket bulging
Hi guys,
Ran into a weird issue on assembling an engine. The oil pan gasket in the rear keeps trying to bulge out where the locator tab goes.
Any advice? I've cleaned and removed/replaced the pan 3x so far, and I'm really tired of pulling/replacing it.

Tried two different gaskets, one for 94-97, one for 01-05 now.
RTV is of course on. It was definitely overtorqued the first time. It's at something like 2-3 ft/lbs now and trying to bulge as is.
