Re:cheap oil return flange?

Just get a drill bit a tad under the size of your brass fitting and then screw the fitting into the pan. No big deal. I'd use some high temp sillicon on the threads of the brass fitting just to be sure. This is what I did on my turbo project and never ahd a problem with it.

Yeah, don't just stick it in there loosely and JB Weld it. It'll start leaking eventually! I'm redoing my return setup with a tunertoys flange on the turbo and I'm getting a fitting brazed to the oil pan, all this because I trusted JB Weld and it sucks. Tomorrow will be my 3rd day on this repair job

freakin' toyota had to flip the engine around, working on that car is a bioch!

Re:cheap oil return flange?

i disagree! i had to fix my oil return also cuz oil wasnt flowing good and it was getting pushed out the exhaust seals and smoking. i bought a cheap fitting from lowes and i jb welded that sucker on there! i put enough to make sure it wouldnt come loose and it dried very strong so i shouldnt have a problem. its been like that for at least a month and no leaks at all with heavy driving. its all in how you take your time doing it and setting the fitting properly so it wont come loose. i just painted black over the jbweld and you could barely even tell its there.

F'ed up oil returns suck. You can get a bulkhead fitting any size from summit. it's basically a real long AN fitting and you get a nut so it screws together.
