musclecargt500 Todd Do a couple of things first, Make sure the the windage tray CLEARS the rods when rotating the crank. If this is OK, I installed to location pins in the bottom of my block to center the pan. Best way to do this is put the pan and tray on the block, and center. drill 2 or 4 1/8" drill hole through all. Install press pins in the holes. Clean the surfaces real good and use a RTV(grey) to seal the pan. Very thin bead on all 3 surfaces. 1/16" bead. Let dry for 24 hours and you are good to go. Indian schalic is a ***** to remove, you need an air chisle, been there done that. Most motors in new cars use RTV to seal all low pressure areas like oil pans. If someone is finding RTV in a pickup tube, they where using WAY TO MUCH. I have 6 years on my pan and windage tray from canton without any leaks, how ever that rope seal in the rear main is a different story . My car is like a dog and marks it territory Rick Lake
