That I should not cut my Indy valley plate lengthwise in half. The plate fits under the Indy heads, and the only way to remove it, is either take off a head, or unbolt everything off the front of the engine, and slide it forward. I was thinking that I can make it a two piece valley plate, and it would simply lift out, then I can remove my lifters easily to be checked out. Then to reinstall, simply run a silicone bead down the joint and it will be good until next time. Anything wrong with this thought?
