383 dart, center link hits oil pan HELP!!
Don't panic yet. Yes, it sucks but may be an easy fix. What number is stamped in your oil pan - 187, 699, 402?
If the idler is hitting your pan right on a corner where your indentation is (if you have one) then the easiest solution is to take a hammer and tap the corner down till you have clearance. It may not take much and once it's done the idler will swing right in there. You're just flattening the corner, not making a dimple. A little paint and you'll never notice it.
