Default spacer

If you have a registered main, then it's needed as the oil pan is further out. I usually I just double up on the timing cover area.

I thought all IA2 had registered mains requiring the spacer and longer oil pump drive? And the KRE block is doweled like the original Pontiac block requiring no special parts?
