AlterKation Install

I bit the bullet and bought an AlterKation from RMS. I figured I'd document the install so I can get the help I may need and for others who end up going this route.

First off the quality of the parts are second to none in all ways.

================================

Day 1: I replaced my old and multi timed damaged and repaired oil pan. It was the rear sump style and hung very low.

The pan RMS recommends and the pan built to work with his system is the Milodon 315080 7 qt road race pan. This thing is a work of art. Fully baffled, hinged deceleration baffles. Fill port on the side.

I used the moroso rubber coated steel gaskets. They are the best 've seen but required me to go tot a 3/4" bolt. I used SS cap screws. You'll need these because you can't get a socket on the 3 pan bolts on each side. You can get an allen wrench in there easily.

I also installed the spool mounts. These are so much better in design than the biscuit mounts that require a limiter strap and shims to function right.
