Hi, Has anyone had clearance problems fitting stock oil pans to B/RB engines using ARP main studs?
I am trying to fit a Hemi pan (bought from 440Source) to a 440 that has ARP main studs fitted. But the back of the pan (the shallow end) is hitting on the rear main studs and nuts. This is my first B/RB engine build so not sure if this is a common problem? The engine was previously running a Milodon deep pan (which fitted) but had ground clearance issue so I am swapping for a 6 Quart Hemi pan. I need to use this pan.
The rear studs and nuts are pushing the pan back 1/3" I don't want to cut the studs down (and will not be removing the studs either) but even if I did, the nuts prevent the pan being properly located at their holes in the block.
Has anyone encountered this issue before? I'm sure I wouldn't be the first
I was going to upload a picture but it isn't going to show much.
thanks
