road race style pan

I thought that was just for the Canton STEEL pan? Now I'm confused, go figure:??::shrug:

OH DEAR!!! GOOD POINT!! Sorry!

I have the steel pan w/ copper washer. I don't know what the Aluminum one uses.

My new steel Canton pan doesn't leak at all. It just sits there in the box waiting for someone to install it. epper:

p.s. I blame Jimmy for my new $500 oil pan insurance policy. I hate when people are right and all you can do is take their advice :cuss: But it's way better than the expensive "I told you so" when you don't take their advice.

We just got my car off the lift, and it looks like the leak was the plug on the pass side (not the drain plug). It was weeping a bit from there, so we sealed it on the outside. I don't even know what that plug is for. :shrug:

And good news about my engine. I had started feeling the vibration in the instructor session at Summit Point, and parked it for the day. I had visions of needing to rebuild something, and wasn't looking forward to funding that.

It turns out the cross brace we made from the stock vert brace to fit under my canton pan had gotten smashed up and was vibrating against the pan. Gee, I wonder how that happened?

It's gone and everything's fine....for the street. I need to come up with a better brace for the track.
I have a few ideas. :idea:

Probably a receiver for an oil-temp gauge probe.

As for leaking drain plugs, I agree, the copper washers are useless. Just pick up pack of nylon ones at the parts store, problem solved.

I'm going to try that. The amount of torque required to stop the copper ones from leaking makes me nervous.:dw:
