If you don't have the right tools & skill, probably better to take to a machine shop than mess up a $500~$750 part.

Here's a link to see a photo of the part. http://cdn3.bigcommerce.com/s-nkg90o...0.1280.jpg?c=2

I do have a CNC billet replacement in the works, Although it will fit the same, it will not look like the OEM. This is a complex part to reproduce without springing for a new casting mold, requiring a 5 axis machining center.

I knew you would be creating a replacement for one of the three hard to get parts.

There is no half stepping @ Jerry's Gaskets.
