   Surely if you wedge something in between you could damge the lip?
   
   Hit it with a rubber hammer.

   i had a 100K plus bottom end, and still got it off. stop being a girl
   
   as said just get flat head under the lip, do a few places and it will drop off easy.

    Are you sure your oil leak is coming from the sump joint? I was just wondering, what with it being so hard to separate from the block

    once you have the seal broken on most of it you can lever it off easily with the flathead.

    I used Loctite blue for the sump, left it overnight (about 6hours, had a 1/4mile the next day) and that sealed fine.

    Remember to loosely tighten the bolts, then work around tightening them all up.
