Default Do I need to put spacers under my windage tray to clear a 4.0" crank?

I've heard of some peoples crankshafts smacking the windage tray on stroker motors. So I need to do something to drop it down a bit? Thanks!

Oh yes, and whats the torque specs on those little nuts that hold it on? Thanks!

there are specific spacers you need... in my old car i had an SLP 402 shortblock in it and they came with the package.

i'm not sure where to get just the spacers. i believe they're 1/8th inch spacers.

Hrmm... should I just go get some washers from the hardware store? There's washers in the box for my ARP studs, could those be it?

Most use the washers from ARP. If the bolts in your kit had those left over, I assume those are the ones.

ARP's kits have been coming with extra washers for the windage trays, with stock main studs you have to stack a few washers or buy ARP washers.
