Has anyone else encountered a problem with the JEGS big block windage tray that has the reuseable gaskets on it leaking at the rear of the engine? I've installed one of these on my charger and it seems to be leaking in the area where the recessed holes would be for the rear main seal. Jegs says they have had no complaints and that they see no way that it could possibly leak. I am just curious if anyone else has experienced this issue as well.

Had the same problem on our 440, leaking at the rear, luckily it was on a dyno and I had to take the engine home to advance the cam so went back to the old set-up with Permatex Spray-a-Gasket, the red stuff, next time on the dyno, dry as a bone!! Sure glad it wasn't the rear seal!!
Jegs was good about the return, they've obviously heard of the problem before, good idea, bad execution.
Maybe the problem is fixed now, my gasket/tray combo was a couple of years old before I used it.

There have been some posts on here recently about this that always seem to open up heated discussions. Milodon and ARP both sell stud kits for the oil pan and that may be a reasonable solution to the problem. I'm gonna put in a set next time I'm under there.
Yep , obviously he installed the wrong bolts in the rear cap .....
I'm surprised the psycho chevy guy hasn't chimed in with his diatribe ...
