I dont know if that is too much or not, i just put the pan on my 402 a few days ago and i have no issues with the windage tray. It is all tightened down, and nothing hits spinning it over by hand.

You need to be careful because shimming the windage tray will push the oil pick up too close to the bottom of the oil pan. Then you need to bend oil pick up to compensate.
