I am about to re-install the windage tray on my 327 after re-doing the oil pump. I had flats & split locks on the windage tray, but after reading some of the post here I decided not to go that route.
I bought a package of windage tray nuts aftermarket. They are plain nuts with captured external tooth star washers. Don't think you would want or need flat washers with the star washer nuts.
After reading the archives back to 2003, there is a lot about windage trays, but not fastening torque. It was recommended in one post to use interference thread nuts, but I don't know how one would torque them.
These are 3/8-16, so I would think 25ft lbs. would be okay. Sound good? Just wondering what some of you guys do.
Thanks, -Dan-
