I use 2x6 but it’s still the basic idea, works for me, clears everything.

Congratulations, a drop is always a relief when its finally out.

I previously lifted off the sump plate (SC) with a wood block on the contact point. With my new aluminum deep plate, I'm now lifting just past it, still under the engine.
