71 Dart 410 stroker ..

Got the timing chain cover off this morning and got those oil plugs in....but as i was tuning the engine over to get the dots lined up before removing the chain....i felt the crank hit something but it continued to move...I figured something was hitting the oil pick up tube.....

after getting the oil plugs in behind the cam thrust plate...i removed the oil pan....rod is nicking the oil pickup tube where Moroso put the nipple on the tube...actually was nicking the plug weld on the nipple...10 seconds with a grinder and no more nicking...

there was actually a shinning spot on the weld where it was just touching...
