3B and AAN oil pan incompatibility

[Martin Pajak]

Taka,

Sorry to say, but it works perfectly.
BTDT this evening.
AAN windage tray fits the 3B engine with 3B oil pick up and 3B oil pan.
If you need any pics I can supply.
3B and AAN oil pick up are almost the same with exception of the o-ring
instead of the gasket.
They both end up in the same spot in the pans.

I strongly feel your mechanic just did not know the procedure of installing
one of these trays.
Or maybe he was afraid of taking the oil pick-up off, etc.
That's all.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
Martin Pajak
