How to Install a Windage Plate on an Engine

Hi, I'm Doug, I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Now we're going to do a final install on the widage plate. We've the oil pump custom fit to the windage plate, we've got the pickup there, the oil pump pickup custom fit to that plate. And now we'll go ahead and get all the bolts put on, all the nuts put on the end of the studs and tighten them down. You'll notice everything is done very clean. Mark's going to go ahead and torque this to the manufactures specifications. The windage plate gets fastened into the end of the main bearing caps. So it's important that you have the torque just right so that everything is exerting equal force in the right places. This one though it doesn't need to be torqued specifically or anything.
