Has anyone else had a 15-240T Canton oil pan get hit by the crank? I started up my engine and noticed a light tapping in the oil pan area. Before putting things back together I attached the pan with a few bolts and ran the starter. There was no noise! However with the car running there is. Common for interference by the oil filter so I will check there first. Anyone's pan get hit other places?

R&R of the pan is a PITA!

I have the Canton RR pan for Gen1 sbc with driver's side dipstick and 2-piece main seal and I don't have issues with a 3.75" crank. I know above that, there is.

What crank are you running?

I use a blue felpro with steel insert 1 piece seal. It is pretty thick. Maybe that is what makes the difference?

I have the stock crank in there yet. 6" rod but I didn't see any problems there. Looked like counter weight on the crank hit by the filter, that's clearanced now but there is still a tapping. I have that gasket too, it's a really nice piece!

Hmm, sorry to hear that. Yes, that felpro gasket is nice and those little plastic studs make install sooo much easier.

Progress?

Is it hitting the scraper or diamond tray?

I cant imagine it hitting anywhere else

Here is where it was hitting the side by the oil filter:



I think it's also hitting here (right in the middle) but I haven't finish checking, I'm going to paint it and see what get scrapped. It was shifted pretty far toward the drivers side, I checked the bolt marks on the pan for evidence.
