| NO filler in intake ports- it WILL end up in the engine.
Can't see a big problem with those nicks - just chamfer them off a touch, and stick the new inlet maniold gasket in place with a little (!) RTV, espec around the water channels, drop the manifold loosely on top and let it set, couple of hours is enough, whip the manifold off again, then a smear of rtv around the manifold side of the water channels, and check, double, and triple check the gasket doesn't move when you finally reseat the manifold.
