So I have been watching the debates on the trays I’m surprised no one has talked about the difference in trays. I had one come apart a few years back and under inspection found the tray had only had 3 ribs down the non dip stick side. Started looking at some of the others I had and found they made them with 6 ribs down the side that improves strength a lot anyone who has ever bead rolled aluminum with tell you that. As for the full length tray I personally don’t think there’s any advantage of it in the front of engine. I have noticed all the broken tray pictures posted have been 3 bead trays. I went out to take a picture of the difference but I have sold all the 3 bead trays already but here’s the 6 bead picture. I don’t have one to check but if I remember right the 6 bead trays are a little thicker.
