Re: Project: Mavro Gato (56K ... Get a cup of coffee)
The only reason for that closeup is to note what tray didn't work without being modified. However, I think this is exclusive to me since I had to modify it because a block bolt was in the wrong place ... look just above the nut holding down the oil pickup tab ... I had to drill out the pan to clear a studded bolt that is in the wrong place. I have to reference the build manual that I gave the machine shop to see if it was their goof or mine (giving them 2.5L directions). *I THINK* that studded bolt was the old retaining stud for the older design oil pickup and me giving them the 2.5L plans with revised 3L setups would explain why I had to drill a hole in the windage tray. No biggie though ... the bolts are all the same length and torqued to spec.
