Here is another quality item from the aftermarket. This fuel line is supposed to go around the passenger side of the thermostat housing. That's as far as it will go. It hits the timing cover.

Replacement oil pan

What is a good stock baffled oil pan on the market now? I bought this one from Butler and it is unusable. That is a factory timing chain cover so that is not the issue.
