yes, too high.. that top seam of the top should line up with the edge of the valence.. there is a rubber gasket that can go there. (UPPER RADIATOR VALANCE SEAL . . . . . .2307, MF page 86)

I have never done a stock rad, so don't know the exact alignment, but you shouldn't see thru at the bottom.. there is a lower seal too. (GRAVEL PAN TO RADIATOR SEAL .2308. MF page 93)
