I have read on here that you have to either dent your oil pan for the stroker or buy a new one. I would much rather just dent it than spending extra money, and the mechanic at the dealership said he would rather me dent it than the crank rub a hole through. If this is true, where exactly do you dent it at? and how much?

You can either buy a didicated pan with enough room to not require any massaging or install your pan on your motor without any gaskets and rotate it by hand a couple/three times and pull it back off.

Next, check it for any rub marks and if you find any then massage it with a big ball-pien "Ford Tool" until it fits without rubbing!!!

Glue your oil pan gasket to the block and set the pan on the engine. then put a couple bolts in to hold it in place. Rotate the engine until it hits the pan repeat a few times, this will leave a scratch on the pan. Pull the pan off and dimple the spot with the scratch with a ball peen hammer. repeat the process until the crank rotates freely all the way around.

I only had to dent mine on the drivers side by the rear-most counter weight - it cleared everywhere else.
