Helpful hints
If the main studs hit the oil pan, it is best to remove material (cut to length) off bottom of the stud (block side) one thread at a time. If the tray doesn't fit in the pan, recheck the part numbers. If correct, try and find where the interference is, correcting by slightly bending and/or filing. Make sure all thread sealer from the main cap holes and/or metal chips from the main studs are cleaned from the engine before you install the oil pan.
