I cannot see your split but the original was split top half and bottom half at the cylinders

If you look closely, the screw just behind the valve cover is holding a plate of aluminum. Another screw goes into the bottom hole. This is used at 4 places around the cowl. If you wanted to get fancy, you could use a flat head screw for the one that will not be removed, and cover it over with spot putty.

didn't take the photo the first time around. I will try again.
