Bigger not always better (Porting)

Alright, I did some porting on my '91 N/A. After I finished, I put the 5th/6th sleeve back into place and it became apparent I took to much off the top of the aux opening. I know it's bad but my question is how bad. There is a small gap between the opening and the sleeve itself. Will the air flow back past the sleeve and into the housing? Attached pic of my blunder...

Thanks for your input,

Brian

As long as you didn't go into the oil seal or side/corner seal paths you should be ok. Not sure how much effect it will have, but it shouldn't be detrimental to the engine if it doesn't go into the seal's paths.
