Some of you guys act like this is the first engine I have ever built. Just to be clear, I have built over 500 engines and well over 200 Pontiac engines. I check oil pump pickup to oil pan clearance as well as everything else. Somehow I couldn't hear the windage tray touching so I missed that. My mistake, but that doesn't mean I didn't check anything else. Keep in mind also that this is the first issue like this I have ever had with an engine build in 25 years of doing this. The only other issues I have had have all been from parts malfunctions.
