Considering your using premix, along with the normal enamal buildup caused by the injectors, it looks normal.

It looks like someone used RTV on it already.

haha actually i used RTV and pulled the LIM off later cause i have some leaks on the LIM/engine . so now im thinking if i should use back RTV or just bolt it on with the gasket with no RTV.....

whats enamel buildup by the injectors btw?

Fuel does not burn up 100%.
That's **** in the gas that cannot burn.

If you have a new gasket you dont need RTV to help it seal. Using a very thin layer though helps when it comes tome to take the gasket off again though.

I always use RTV on Mazda OEM paper gaskets, cause the gaskets come off easily.
If careful, you can reuse them.
BUT, be careful with the LIM gasket - there are two pin-hole holes that are used for the air bleeds.
If you plug them up, it will affect idle!
