Just un bokting the motor mounts and jacking up the motor, should give you plenty of space, but if needed u can drop the fro t subframe some aswell. That should allow enough space. As for the rtv, just take ur time ,gain enough clearence and ull get the pan back on and sealed up fine. Its tight but doable.
As for the cap, that i dont know, ive never put them on backwards and torqued them down and see if it spins. For all we know u installed them properly..but that have to be on u and ur memeory. Cant speak on something i didnt do. Thats why engine building is a precise job. Has tobe 100% right.
If your really not 100% sure.
Acually im not 100% sure but i think u can just drop the small oil pan, pickup and large tray and u can see #1 cylinder.... look up in there and that might save u fro. Tearn it all down(that is if u put the caps right) just to check it
