2. Replace the extended sump bolts supplied with correct size s/s studs. Use blue Loctite in the crankcase holes,use green on the nuts(double nuts) that retain the sump plate. Reduces risk of stripping threads in future,easy to remove sump plate to inspect for debris.Do some careful measuring to choose the correct length and chase the threads in the crankcase.
Windage tray goes up top above the deep sump spacer. It was the old directions that had it go below.

The studs sound like a great idea. If I ever take mine off again I may go that route.
