Milodon Windage Tray

Why are the nuts on the studs sitting so high?

Not the ones on the bottom of the tray holding it on, but the ones underneath those that set the position... I think that put the tray in the wrong position and helped cause the pressure on it to break... I would have set them lower so the pan could be tighter to the crank, from what I see from the pictures....

What else caused the pressure on it to make it break???

Or is there more to it from what I see???
