Message What motor mounts are you using?

My oil pan has less clearance to the steering rack due to its flat bottom design so oil doesn't pool in the front of the pan like the OE pan does because of the ski jump in it to clear the steering rack. The reduced clearance of my pan won't be a problem with quality motor mounts.

I mentioned the thrust bearing oil return because the bedplate design presented a unique situation where this could have been easily overlooked. The bearing is not the focal point, rather the slot where the pan meets the bedplate is the return.
