Even then, I still have to do a little "custom fitting" of the oil pan. The high volume pump will hit the side & bottom of the pan also. Test fit it without a gasket and get it to seat on the block surface. Keep trying, then banging with a ball peen hammer, then test fit, then bang a little more, etc. Repeat until oil pan will fit on the block flat without the gasket, then it will be fine with the gasket. #-o
With just a little bit of banging, you can get it to fit. :violent1:
