ok. I just wasn't sure if there were any benifits to disconnecting it from the core.
i am assuming that to run 2 together to get about 4kv i should connect the cores together. giving me 2 HV outs. should I connect the primary's in series or parallel. i already know about how to match the phase by reversing a primary input in necessary.
Before i do that though i have to find a way to put these in oil. any suggections for a container that could be sealed up nicely. with the help of epoxy or something else.

Should what be removed? Do you mean remove the HV winding, or remove the core
connection?
Regardless, don't remove either one of them. Just leave the MOT alone and take
your HV off the single HV lug. This worked for the magnetron tube supply in the
oven, and it will work for you too. The return path is through chassis ground to
the MOT core. A picture is worth 1000 words, so see my MOT schematic:

No need to re-engineer your MOTs. They can drive your vacuum tube or tubes just
as they are.

ok. so leave everything alone. sounds good to me.
What is the best way to connect everything together for TC
use? I noticed that one of the HV windings is connected to
the core. should that be removed.
thanks,
