Test fit the windage tray. Don't be surprised if the front bolt holes that go into the timing cover are not even close. It appears that Aviad welds the front "u" to the rest of the tray as a separate part and then grinds them smooth. After I fix them so everything fits I will glue a gasket to each side of the tray. Then its gray RTV on each end for assembly - a super thin layer like a coat of paint. The pans don't leak then - until they loosen up. Studs and serrated head nuts help....after you tighten them. I've been known to accidentally get a little silicone on the threads...
