So to raise the pick up higher, can I install washers under the windage tray to raise it and then bolt the pick up in over the windage tray to close the distance? What have others done when in this situation?
Pretty common to have to use washers to set this distance. 99.9% of folks never check this distance, nor even care or know to. I set mine at .235” using hardened washers. I had to mod my windage tray in that area to make it happen. This number is critical especially for anyone doing spirited driving in twisties, which most of us pro-touring guys do. Good on you sir for being concerned about this in your engine. LS engines need all the help they can get in the oiling department, especially wet sump LS engines.
