Making progress looking good
Actually I thought about your comment on spacing from my original post when I made my second cuts. I did not allow enough up and down rotation space on my shorter cuts which is why I ended up cutting both sides longer on the vertical axis. I had clearance to get the valve covers off on the first cut but was not comfortable that I had enough for engine rotation. I cut higher on the drivers side and lower on the passenger side to allow for vibration and rotation.

Thanks for the advice!
