"Chilek" refers to a case of "Mechalek" - dividing or cutting the Taba'as (see Background to Chulin 18:10) into two. "Bilek" refers to a case of "Mevalek" (O.F. decharognier), tearing the Simanim.

When performing Melikah on the Chatas ha'Of he would make sure not to sever both Simanim of the bird ("v'Lo Yavdil" - Vayikra 5:8).
