I was wondering what the oil pans are made of (aluminum, steel, adamantium) for B and D series blocks. I assume steel, but don't really know for sure - no hondas in front of me currently.

I should have been more sober last time I tore down the b18a1 but I'm sure someone knows the answer I seek.

Thanks

steel I think, just use jb weld, it doesn't care what it's on.

 

its either steel either aluminium depends

 

damn, no adamantium. i know on most cars it's steel.. wondering if a 100% aluminum motor would have a alum pan.

my 4x4 has a steel oil pan but a alum tranny pan (700r4) + aluminum inspection plate (better then the light duty trucks that have plastic inspec plate)

 

put a magnet on it, if it sticks it's steel, if it falls off it's aluminum.

 

not one in front of me, otherwise I could just tap it and tell what it is, I'll know soon enough.

Or while Projekteg is at the honda dealership comparing specs of the 95 and 00 integra oil pans he should look at some D16s for me and write all that ----. Novel idea for ya buddy.

 

all D motors have steel ones except the D16Y8 and maybe D16Y7 (both 96+) i'm pritty sure

 

I have two Z6's in the garage and both of them are steel. My old B7 was steel too. Not sure about any others, although I think I remember Jeff saying something about 96+ being aluminum.

It depends on the year, I think the OBD2's are aluminum and the others are steel but don't quote me on that. Just put a damn magnet on it and you'll have your answer
