Looks like the tang over the oil pump on the windage tray got pushed in on the driver side and the #5 rod was just grazing it.I pulled it back out with my pinky.Probably bumped it over installing the pan, tray is so malleable...grrrr...nothing but noise.






Don't see a need for the tray with the Kevko pan while it's apart,so deleting the tray.

Can I use my piston stop to block the engine up to tighten my converter bolts without damaging the forged aluminum piston,or should I use rope in the cylinder?
