are you trying to take it out w/o removing the intake? if you cut it from back to front I'd think it would seal very well as it would not be very stable. They sell units that have access plates so you don't have to go thru all of that.

............I will remove the intake, I just want to be able to get access to my lifters at that point without having to remove anything else. I have a machine shop here, that I use all the time, I was thinking of making the cut on a 45 degree angle, so it would simply slip back togather with silicone to seal it. Just don't know if this is a good idea or not.
