I tried searching but 56k gets ridiculous!!!! I dont have a motor to look at, i am about to go get a fitting welded into my z6 pan, and was wondering how deep the fitting can go in. I am going to place it about an inch and a half under the lip of the pan.

This is off of my instruction to install the oil return line kit,



hope this helps

you dont want it too far down into the pan, otherwise it start to get into standing oil.

Warwagon, is that an aluminum AN fitting? How did you weld that to a stock oil pan, and flamenco, is that a steel or aluminum fitting? What catalog can you find steel AN fittings in?

I'm wondering because I just had this done and I had to have a 1/2" steel pipe bung welded into the pan so we could screw in a 1/2" to -10AM union.

you want to put it as far up as you can while still being able to weld the top-side of the fitting.

the fitting welded to the oil pan has to be steel since the pan is also steel...hit up flamenco-t for all of that stuff

as far up with as little penetration into the pan as possible.

I brazed my fitting onto the pan. Works great, and looks smooth as a baby's ***.
