Yep. These are brand new never removed from the box. Got them on a GP a long time ago. Just getting what I paid and it looks like the price has gone way up.
These are the ones that you have to kinda hammer out the pan a little bit for clearance.

There was a glare on the pic from the plastic but I don't want to remove the bag because it's sealed.

Do you know, How much you have to hammer out the pan for clearance?

It's not very much. Many on here have done it. Ask sytyguy, he's sold these as well. I've personally never installed them, hense, new in the bag but its a pretty common upgrade.
If I remember right, they assemble the engine, then set the pan on it, rotate the assembly and then hammer it out with a ball peen hammer where the evidence is left of contact. So many more guys can weld now, guys may be cutting and welding now, but I think most just ding it out a bit. There was also a number they had for how much it should clear.

Not much, just a fraction of an inch.

The easiest way to clearance the pan is to:
  1. Put the engine on a stand, and roll it over so the crank is at the top.
  2. Place the pan on the engine WITHOUT any gasket.
  3. Rotate the crank, and feel where the rods contact the pan. You can also put a small amount of grease in the pan, and look for the marks in the grease -- this works well, but is a little messier.
  4. Take the pan off and use a ball pein hammer to dent the pan outward from the inside.
  5. Repeat steps 2-4 until the rods clear the pan.
Now, when you install the pan WITH the gasket, you'll have plenty of clearance from the rods.

Thanks, Bill. I knew it wasn't much but I'd never done it and didn't want to steer him wrong.

Lloyd, it's $15 for shipping via FedEx to get it out there.
Thanks, I'm just sending the whole box and everything that was in it, assembly lube, instructions, everything.
