Canton LS1 Competition Oil Pan I recently purchased a Canton LS1 Competition Oil Pan. This was purchased for a friend. When removed from the box, we were concerned with a welded area. I contacted the vendor that I ordered the item from and they assured me that the pan was 100% perfect. I would like to know if anyone else has any experience with this oil pan and can confirm if the pan is fine to use. I am afraid of having the pan installed and something going wrong. Any input is greatly appreciated. I have attached a few pictures of the area I am concerned with.

The canton pans have a rep for being junk on the ls1. There is a thread in the drag racing tech section right now describing some of the problems. Sell it and keep the stocker or get the moroso with the extended pickup tube.

The welding there looks to have been mistakenly performed on a bend (break) where it's not needed. Seeing as how the sealing surface was ground flat, the mistake shouldn't affect the pan's performance in any way
