Exclamation missed applying sealer before head torque!

Just installed head on 22r block (89 base pickup), and was referencing the FSM download (thank you YotaTech) at my 3rd floor apt, while in a rush losing daylight today.
I somehow missed the "apply sealer to front corners of block", ugh!
So how screwed am I? I am really pissed and freaking out here. I am so used to working on 782 Chrysler turbo heads (no sealant needed, ever) that force of habit took over. So am I pulling the head off again? That would really screw the pooch here but I'll do what is needed.

There is a fair chance you will have a small oil leak where the seals t is supposed to be.

Ok so this applies to 85 and up blocks? I ask since the 85 FSM was the only still available. Shows front two corners of block being dapped with sealant
