Rod bolts hitting pick up tube

Post  Godzilla on January 5th 2012, 4:52 pm

I am putting my 588 together and ran into a problem. The rod bolt is hitting the pick up tube. It's hitting it pretty hard. The crank is a 4.50 stroke. I thought i would ask for ideas before i screw something up. It is a rear sump pan.
Thanks in advance
Bob

Rework the tube to clear. Watch not to stress the oil pump and attachment points.
