There's also a gasket behind the plate so scraping and sealing are involved as well as valvetrain disassembly. Much easier to drill the 2 holes in the 58 plate than change them IMHO. If you want square holes as original drill the 4 corners with a 1/8" bit, drill 7/16" on center and then file the rest.
