I'm just about to button up my new motor and I'm having a problem with the rod bolts hitting the windage try with my 4" crank. What have you guys done to combat this? I was thinking just run a small washer under the windage try, but I'm afraid that will put the oil pickup to close to the pan. Thank you for the help.

i put 3 washers under mine and just tweaked the pick up tube slightly. i checkd clearance on the pan before and after and it was good.

i used the slp washers for a 4.0 stroke crank, they were like $10, probalby the cheapest thing you can get from slp. I had no pick up clearance problems.

Just installed the windage tray and oil pickup on my LME 416 short block today. Used the washers that LME sent with the SB....no clearance problems at all!
