Hey gang... Wouldn't ya know it.. I pulled a "DOH"!!
yesterday... Got my new hemi oil pan, painted it and got ready to install the windage tray and pan on my hemi.. Well....... "Doh" !!! The rear main cap isn't installed and frankly, don't think I have one..

Anyone have good experiences with aftermarket/Mopar billet caps? I need to get one now and wonder if it's just as good to get an original used one with a new seal package or go with the billet style I see over at Mancini's...

Thanks in advance...

At first reading I thought that OH_SH*T are you in for some problems, how could anyone assemble a motor and forget a main cap. I tried a billit one and it had a tiny tiny leak so I went back to a stock original and no problems, good luck.
