Is Indy the only one offering a 2-piece valley plate? And what is your experience with them? Leaks? Other problems? They sure are a lot more expensive than the one piece. But if I ever had to pull a head just to change a lifter, it would probably seem a bargain. Any thoughts and suggestions would be apprciated.
Master, again and still

I had mine cut in half at an angle, got the idea from a board member here with a red GTX.
Best $50 I ever spent. I just put RTV around each piece and bolt them on. No leaks. The ones with the window in the middle of them are still gonna require head removal if they leak around the outer perimeter.

at one time Indy made 2 piece plates done like yours. i had planned on splitting one, but with the cut being made close to one side so that only one piece would need to be removed. no need to now, Jack Moore (Moore & Moore) gave me a great deal on one of the window type.
ps, standard plate is for sale
