oil pan and eagles

[scotts4]

just checking how much tweaking does it take? I have the short block assembled and with no oil pan gasket i tweaked the pan so the rods do not hit any more is that enough or do i need to go more? I know when i assemble it with the gasket it will bring it even farther away so what did you guys do? Thanks

a good 5 min with a hammer will do the trick. the only thing that is a concern are the bolts actually. thats all that hits. a dimple around the center rod bolts of about 3/8" is all thats needed.

just get it so it doesnt hit when the gasket is removed. Add the gasket and you are good to go.
