freetheoranges Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I hope it's not the same pan I have... Tried to get a pic, too dark. EDIT: Ho hum anyone suppose the one I have now with the hole could be a core for some other purchase? Quote Link to comment
shacks510 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 That's the same style pan I have on my L16. I've seen others, like Antony, that have a different shape sump resivour with the drain plug on the back. The flakey paint was bothering the shit outta me... I hit it lightly with a wire brush to get the big stuff off. I was almost gonna ask you what color you want it so I could straighten and paint it. 1 Quote Link to comment

shacks510 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 What's wrong with your old oil pan? Quote Link to comment
freetheoranges Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Supposedly from a 620 (I think) so the clearance on the steering components is nil and it rubs. And there is a hole so the oil just flows out... Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Supposedly from a 620 (I think) so the clearance on the steering components is nil and it rubs correct white? just my opinion pans should be black to hide the oil seepage better 1 Quote Link to comment

freetheoranges Posted August 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 If the oil pan leaked oil, I would very much like to find the source, thus white might suffice. 3 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 If the oil pan leaked oil, I would very much like to find the source, thus white might suffice. This is why a lot of race car shit is painted white or dove grey. B) 2 Quote Link to comment

freetheoranges Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Stripped oil pan, washed in warm soapy water and dried five times, repainted engine enamel high temp white which the can says is oil resistant. I made the bottom level and gave it a thick dripping coat. 3 Quote Link to comment
