Even with the 2 piece , its says you can trim the ends to acomplish the fit. But Wade told me that he'd rather not and instead do it from the back / bottom of the seal like the 2 piece .. Usally you dont need much.. Mine was bad. My 2 piece flush on 1 side stuck out .055 on the other side of the cap and .033 on the block side ..

I was out messing with the engine today. Port matched the 4500 Victor that Wilcox did. Had to bring the top of the runners up quite a bit to match the High Ports.
Anyway, I set the one piece(uncut) in the block and then the rear main. It was up a good 1/32 off the block. So, I could sand the side of the seal that goes in the cap ?
The Best seal is pretty cheap, 20$
