cracked oil pan
cracked oil pan Somehow my oil pan has a crack in it. In the middle of the pan towards the rear of the car. A little less than 2 inches long and leaks maybe 1 drop a minute.
Originally was going to have it welded. I've been told though that the oil pan is different than a traditional sbc oil pan. It's actually under a lot of stress as it is actually part of the block. Is this true?

Re: cracked oil pan Just have it welded by someone that knows how to weld aluminum. I have modified many pans to retrofit the LS1's and the welding works just fine unfortunately some pans have more porosity than others and the welding can be a real pain.
