JB weld oil drain fitting
 

well i welded a 1/2 in. steel tube to my oil pan to serve as the oil return for the turbo. i installed it once and it leaked, so i dropped the pan again, welded some more and it still LEAKED! im sick of droping the pan and i wanted to know if i clean off the oil and smeared some JB weld on there will it work? has anyone done this?
TIA

I JB welded my entire fitting in.. No real welding at all..

!!!?!?!??!:o was it just a tube or did you also bolt it on and jb weld?

Re:JB weld oil drain fitting
 

I drilled the whole out so that the fitting kinda threaded in ( KINDA !! not real good ) and then just gobbed the JB weld on both sides. Didn't use the "quik weld", and let it sit for 2 days..

Same here.. I put jbweld around the threads and threaded it in, then jbwelded both sides. So far no leaks from the 1/2" ID brass barb on the pan. Had some oil drain issues, but its good.

JB-weld all the way...easier than welding..and the only option if you use brass

I've fell in love with this quick set 4min hardening epoxy crap lately. ---- gets hella hard in 4 mins. :o

Re:JB weld oil drain fitting
 

I just cut the hole the perfect size, threaded in that homedepot brass thing, and forgot about it. It has never leaked! ;D

Silver brazing is good with brass.

I'll ask the next person I run over...

Mine looked pretty good and I just "globbed" it on there. It also held very well, I had to pry my hose onto the brass fitting b/c the fitting was so close to the pan there wasn't room for the hose and hose clamp. I pryed against it pretty hard, it reassured me that it isn't going anywhere.

heh.. Who cares how it looks. Its on the bottom of the car. Just put a little paint over it if your too cool to be sportin the JB Goodness. ;D

Re:JB weld oil drain fitting
 

mines not even threaded, i just drilled a hole in the pan and stuck in a stainless steel barbed fitting and put jb weld all around it. it's holding up fine, just use a lot.
