Yeah you don't want let that continue. A good way to crack a windage tray or vibrate it so bad that it comes loose. You're really lucky it just kissed it but didn't actually grab and fling into the crank. That would have been gnarly.
Hats off to all involved for handling it in a professional manner and getting it done.
Going through this right now on my 434 build. The milodon tray provides a good line of sight all the way down the bottom of the rod throws, so I can see if I've got clearance.
What should minimum clearance on a windage tray be?
