Oil pan clearance probs Putting a new motor in and the crank is not clearing the oil pan in 1 spot. Toward the front. What can I do? Is a truck pan bigger? Are there bigger aftermarket pans that will clear?
Thanks

Nevermind, got it. But I had to grind quite a bit to clearance it.
What I did is, put it on with no gasket, see where it hit, and grind that area. Took a few trial and error fittings, but I finally got it and it seems like there is enough metal left in the area where it was ground...
