kiichiro Thanks! You are on the mark with your “fail” prediction but not for the reason stated. Popsicle stick thickness is about 1/16”. Problem with this plate design is that the way it is engineered there is practically zero allowance/clearance for any thickness of sealant between the surfaces of the plate and engine. See my 1/21/14 Addendum to the OP regarding a second attempt. I understand your logic, totally! It's a shame they didn't just design a nice rubber gasket for this plate.

BunnyRZed Yeah, the Raceseng plate @ $75 plus shipping ... it's beginning to look like a bargain right about now! But, I'm stubborn and always up for a challenge. If my "finger check" comes out oily next time, might have to pull the trigger on that purty little o-ring plate with the fancy engraved lettering that no one will ever see!!!
