Oil pan and valve tappet question
 

I have a 127 with a k301as. Just got done tearing down the engine and found that the oil pan has a crack where a rock must have hit the deep sump portion near the drain plug. I've been looking at deep sump pans for the k301 on epay and each has subtle differences. Will any of these deep sump pans fit the k301 block?

Also, I noticed that the bottom of the tappets appear scored/pitted. Is this a problem and, if so, where do I find replacements?

The k 301 321 and 341pans are the same.You want a cast iron one, the aluminium ones tend to get cracks/stripped out mounting holes.
