    Think I'm gonna go with the Kevko pan and pickup. They tell me I won't need my windage tray since their pan has an integral crank scraper - sounds like the best move to me.

    Cam install question - HELP!

    I will look at the #1 and #5 bearings more closely and address the shiny spots - I like the lapping compound idea but not sure how it wouldn't just get pushed out - don't like the idea of scoring the journals though I did clean the cam well and also tried it backwards.

    Oil pan options for '99 Magnum 360
