Default Something hitting the windage tray!!!
does anyone know what I can do about the rods, rod bolts, or crank hitting the windage tray and pickup tube. I have a wetsump 416 stroker from Thompson. Started to assemble the motor and came across this issue. The windage tray attaches to the oil pan, not the block, so I can’t use shims.



This is one of the places where it hits.




This is where it hits at


any help is much appreciated!!!

barely any contact it looks like? I'd just bend it. I've done far worse on higher stressed engines.
