Title: ive got a oil pan problem
Post by: DDP1084 on June 04, 2013, 05:32:36 PM

Went to install my new motor and rail kit into my boat and the bottom of the  oil pan hits the four bolts on my intake and the motor still needs to come down a little. What should i do? The pan is a big marine pan by canton with the trap doors. Should i get a new pan or a little longer drive shaft? What do you guys think.

Im going to try that first, hopeing it will work. This oil pan is brand new and i dont realy want to buy another or cut into the pan but got to do what needs to be done to make it fit right.
