OK got in on and the seal that I had cut to fit has pulled back about 1/8 inch. Pulled cover off and installed new seal (untrimmed) and got the cover to bolt on. Now will trim the seal. My understanding is trim it 1/16 inch higher that the block. I will take the cover off and use a razor to cut the seam. I plan on putting a thin piece of gasket on the cover half that is part of the oil pan gasket surface to act as a cutting guide. Any suggestions would be appreciated
