Here is the oil pan with the Milodon pickup installed. I am happy with the design and the area of the sump section. I'm still not happy with the fitment of the pan to the block. The oil deflector in the pan hit the ends of the main caps and about 9 - 10 bolt holes didn't line up with the studs. Coated skirts to make up the slight over bore from re-honing. As a side note, I broke a ring installing a piston. It was the second ring (Napier .043) and I caught the end of the ring on the deck and peeled the edge of the ring back ever so slightly. I finally determined it was the crappy Proform adjustable ring compressor. It doesn't hold a perfect cylinder when compressed and is oblong. I ordered a direct fit ring compressor (to my bore size) and didn't have any issues after that. Seems like the way to go.

Are you attending the bracket finals at Ennis or the all door car race at Crandall on 10-8? It would be nice to see your car and BS with you a bit. I'm planning on attending those 2 races. Maybe we'll see you there 7394029-132825512_Nn1f9AM1_87.jpg (105 downloads)

It is .100 low with the old shims. We sunk the valves about .030 to clean up the screwed up valve job....I wonder if it was .070 off before I took it apart? Maybe this is what wore the guides out so quickly? Racing engines don't have to be ugly! I had the valve covers Hydro dipped and they look great. Getting everything dialed in!
