Why even ask the question?

Obviously if you cracked it you must have hit it hard, causing some sort of dent or imperfections.

You say youre slammed to the dirt, why would you even consider jd welding it?

Welding it is probabyl gonna be the least recomended choice here, because itll cost more than a used oem oil pan that you can grab for $20 from any pick a part yard

Dont waste youre time trying to fix that bullshit you have

WOT, suck my dick

its an sr20det rwd from jdm land. i can't jus go to my pick up sticks n grab one. it has to be ordered. and how would welding a spot less then .5" cost me more then anything? its a small crack from a smackin the ground goin 2mph thru a street light that had a dip. i heard it when it happened but didnt think much of it. its a slow drip but over night it all drained out. i even drove it home after i realized it had the crack in it. im changing the mounts to re-raise the motor back to stock height as i have never had this problem before.

before the new mounts went it, the pan sat above the lower cross member which is what i usually scrape over bumps n what not. i dont give a ---- if i hit that as i always have anyway. when i put the new mounts on, it lowered the engine almost 1" putting the pan lower then the crossmember. but at the same time im running bigger wheels now so the whole car got raised so i thought it wouldn't have hit anything since it kinda compensated. engine went down, but car went up. i scraped the pan a few times n realized "yah, these mounts are gay". i ordered new ones, but the pan ended up crackin b4 i got a chance to get the new mounts in. so im jus tryin to fix mine in a way where it wont ---- up, not to worried bout hitting it again since my engine is gonna go back up to stock height.

you could always do what the vw kids do, and weld a thick ass metal plate to the bottom of the pan, or make a metal cover for the pan after you fix it.

like a skid plate on rally cars, thats a good idea rawr. i may have to do that after i get it fixed. thanks

wouldnt be that hard either

Re: oil pan repair or get a new one?
 

just raise your car up untill you get to where you need to go and use jb weld....then when you get home ------ buy a new oil pan....

Re: oil pan repair or get a new one?
 

Just weld the thing.

Most places wouldn't charge that much to weld a small crack as long as you do all of the prep work. Clean clean clean. Tide works wonders.

Is it aluminum or steel? If aluminum brush area and drill small holes at the ends of the crack.

found jb weld stick ---- thats like a putty, all u do is pinch n kneed it. prepped area nicely, splotched it on there, and hard as steel in 20mins. changed my mounts to re-raise the motor, threw oil in after an hour, and went to the street races right after and it held up fine. when i hit it with ---- it feels like the rest of the pan. it'll work til i get a new pan later. thanks for the help guys.
