It came off easily enough... the engine builder used bolts, but now I want to do it correctly, but it appears there's no way to get it in place with the studs already RTV'd and set in. HELP!!!!!

I was then able to swing it into position and then a few well chose words later.... convince it it was supposed to fit..... it did. Re-gooped the studs and i'm good. THANKS!!!
