Just a quick question

When I removed the rubber oil return line a small stream of oil came out of the nipple.

Is this normal or did I place the fitting a tad too low? the nipple is about 1 1/4" est from the top lip of the pan.

Can I use this pan or should I scrap it use this one?

I've already bought the pan and it should have it in a bout a week but I'd really love to drive this car around the block a couple times. This is the only thing stopping me from starting this boosted engine for the first time.

 

looks low to me. if thats a crx I will sell you a new pan for 40 shiped or 50 taped and shiped

 

I keep mine right up neear the top, put the bolt in befor you braze the barb so it still wotks but gets the drain about 1/2 from the top

 

shitty pic but looks like too much RTV

 

Look around the oil pan gasket

 

In the picture the oil is actually comming out the nipple it self, If I re attach the rubber return line no leaks, just when I pull it back off oil is in the return.

No oil will come out of the nipple w/return pulled when the dip stick is half in between the two dots on the stick.

Sorry man, not a crx, its a b18a1 engine.

I used two big washers, locknut, nipple, backing nut and JB Quik in between everything; Its pretty sturty

I went ahead and ordered the moroso pan with a bung welded in. $120 didnt seem two steep.

Do you all think I could start it a drive it around the block or so a half quart low? It'd be on the basemap, I just want to get it to the welding shop for a dump tube, intercooler mounts, 02 bung, ect. Maybe romp it once or twice.

Thanks for your .02

 

1/2 a quart below the max line is fine. I usually keep it at that level to consume less oil

 

ud be ok
