I'll definitely dry fit it, Al. The notch needs a little work on the left side, which will open it up another millimeter. You mentioned the angle; I've been considering making the notch's sides the same angle as the oil fitting. It's only five degrees or so off vertical...
Wait a minute... angling the sides strays into the kind of obsessiveness I'm trying to subdue these days. It could be done, sure, and it would turn out nice, but it makes more sense (and would take a whole lot less time) to simply open up the un-angled notch until it has clearance enough to accommodate the angle.
The dry fitting will tell the tale.
