The 340 is out....again.....

A legit problem - yes. I always keep them 1/8 - 1/4" off the pan. But a fatal flaw - no.
My money's on the cam bearings being in wrong, or not clearance properly. Factory pickups have a solid bottom. They pull oil in from the "side" not the "bottom". Aftermarket pickups suck from the bottom but that mark looks like a stocker.
Regardless hopefully it's been fixed and everybody's good to go.
