Chrome pans usually = "Made In China" part.
Use an OE pan. Beyond that, I would do the dab of silicone @ the corners of the timing cover & rear main seal for insurance.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
