Factory pan modification question
 

Anyone ever made a kick out on a stock aluminum oil pan
example such as a H22!
Here is why I ask, I seen a caddy oil pan modified tonight and the guy posted it on craigs list as I was there, before I left the pan sold for $400. I was like WTF, its a stock pan, that had been extended"deepened" and kicked out to the side....... So it got me thinking" It's sunday and Indiana doesnt sell alcohol" I have a oem H22 aluminum oil pan and I want to have more fluids"oil, not water U.I" in the pan for the safe sake of it, and the machinist who's house I was at said we can do it easily with aluminum plating, as long as I get the materials. So is it a good idea to modify a stock pan and the cheap? I also have a steel one too that I can try on and see if it works out before dicking over the aluminum one.

PICTURES WITH HONDA EXAMPLES would be greatly appreciated.

---- the H22 cast aluminum K'esqe fail pan... Roll the steel (no to mention if you HIT something with it it wont break nearly as easy... Definately wont shatter)

Were doing a lil something to my pan as we speak. BUT its steel, not that gay cast aluminum A4 ----.

Gas tank too....


Ill post pics when all is done done....

Got another CD5 tank and flushed it outr last night to cut6 oprn for mock up....

Send me picures as you progress, and this ---- is getting ------ weird.

Re: Factory pan modification question
 

Im not doing it simply for more capacity... Theres a different reason. The ------- thing holds 6 QTS... Thats plenty. Still the cast aluminum is a joke IMO

Re: Factory pan modification question
 

Well ------- elaborate why YOUR doing it! O0

oil starvation when you roll the car over?

ground clearance?
i can't imagine the pan sits that low, but i know some muscle car guys have issues with ground clearance.

Re: Factory pan modification question
 

Ground clearance isnt that bad in a engine bay designed for a H22, but now if you put the H22 in a civic "like I have" with a 3inDP I have around 3-4inches ground clearance with a stock pan, but what I was wondering is if I could chop maybe 2 inches of pan "length" and give it more girth and modify the oil pickup? Just seein people with H22's in civics and busting oil pans, not something I want to experience, thats why my ride is mostly on the Interstates/HWY's rarely in parking lots because of speed bumps.

But thanks Mike I appreciate your outlook on it

Re: Factory pan modification question
 

I dont need more clearance, my car is 4x4 status... Now im not sure about the difference between the aluminum and steel pans as far as height, but trying to chop the pan so its "shorter" is dumb (not to mention it will ---- with the pickup).

DOnt be gay and raise your car if THATS why youre doing it.

Get rid of the shattery pile of ---- aluminum pan and get a steel one.
