Are you suggesting you
1. lift the block up a bit,
2. scratch off the old gasket (depositing most of it into the guts of the engine).
3. Realize the crankcase isn't flat, and isn't going to be flat without spending lots of money
4. Decide ''it'll do''
5. Stretch a new silicone gasket on it like a rubber band, having first damaged it by cutting it
6. Put the block back down.
7. Wang the nuts up and call it good?
Can it work? Yes.
Will it work? I'm not a betting man, but if I was, my money would be backing the horse called ''not a chance''.
