Default Intake/exhaust mani bolt question.

I replaced my exhaust mani on my 4.0L over the weekend and just noticed this:



It's the bolt at the head of the engine by injector #1. What gives? The washer won't sit flush yet all the other bolts look great. Could I have somehow bolted up the exhaust mani 1 or 2 mm off where it should have been?

Factory replacement or aftermarket?

I just did mine, so pretty familiar. I don't see how this could happen with the two end studs and two dowels...I would send that pic to the seller and get another one...I know its a hassle. But if its not leaking...could be ok. Or be creative and find something to span that gap.
