anyone got suggestions?

Man that really sucks. How would the covers ever get separated on a donor block? If worst comes to worst I have a spare 951 block with a scored #3 but at least the BS housings haven't been pulled. I will sell it very cheap. I was just keeping it for an assembly guide for my other rebuild in case I forgot how stuff bolted up.
