New oil pan
Bought a new oil pan for my 434 sb, milodon #30908.
This pan is made for stroker small blocks and has a built in windage tray.
Perfect.
However, just discovered the the windage tray is held in place by dzuz type fasteners. Yikes. Big heavy crank and rods spinning at 7k plus close to 4 flimsy fasteners.
Has anyone used this pan and had good/bad results.
It must be standard fixing of the tray across the entire milodon range, but it looks a little weak to me,or am i being over cautious.
Thanks,
Steve.

moroso isn't some Chinese designed garbage I'd not give it a second thought. dzus fasteners hold panels on military aircraft so i don't see an issue on that point either.
