I'm about to install my drag turbo kit, I was wondering if I could use JB weld for the oil return pipe going into the oil pan? Will the JB weld hold up? has anyone else done this before? Thanks in advance.

p.s. I did a search and could not find anything.

 

I've done it...10 months now...no leaks yet...

 

boostin 1 week. no leaks!

 

cool, thanks

 

I drilled a hole in the pan and used a garden hose style bulkhead fitting on mine. Never leaked in 2 years, and I jsut changed the oil pan because of a hole from bottoming out, and I jsut put new Nylon 0 rings on it. Should be good

 

a year and a half now with no problems... works great!

 

how is this exactly setup? Bulkhead fittings with JB weld?

 

in this thread for an update

 

Yeah, I've always thought about using that but couldn't find one with a 90 degree bend.

 

Mines holding up good as well. Word of advice, don't be afriad to put some of the jb weld on the inside of the oil pan. I made that mistake and oil would leak out. I had to remove the oil pan again to fix it. What a pita. good luck!

 

I've had a hole in my intake manifold (hole goes to coolant passage) plugged up for almost three years now with JBWeld.
