weld-less oil pan
I know welding the oil return to the pan is pretty easy, but in honesty I's rather have the project a DIY (and I can't weld). So my question is what material do you use for a weld-less oil pan?

You can use a AN bulkhead fitting like this. http://www.bakerprecision.com/adapt14.htm

I did the same thing, but sealed it with ultra copper gasket maker. No leaks.

I like that idea, I'll use it on my next setup.
I JB welded a fitting onto my oil pan. Put a little on the bottom of the nut and put it on the pan, let it dry. Then slowly buildup more around it until the thing is pretty much covered. Hasn't broken off yet (knock on wood).

hey bro check out this link https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=415678
scroll down bout half way and you can see where a dude used a AN bulkhead fitting with stat-o-seals, and hondabond.
i did the same thing an have had zero problems. i got the parts from http://www.anplumbing.com
part #'s
bulkhead fitting: 983210
bulkhead nut: 992410
stat-o-seals: 178014
i like the way that guy did it cause he put the fitting through the inside of the pan and tightened the nut from the outside. GL

Re: (dpetro1)
I saw something interesting today on one of those domestic shows.
They were installing a centrifugal SC on a 98ish Mustang GT. To tap the oil pan they used a punch, and then used a tap. Last thing they did was screw in a fitting that had a male part on one side that screwed into the part they just threaded and a female part that accepted the fitting from their return line. Then they changed the oil to get out all of the metal flakes. Didn't drop the pan or anything.

If there's metal in the oil pan it won't flow out of the drain plug. The drain plug isn't the lowest part of the pan, and when the oil drains the metal just drops to the bottom anyway. Not pulling the pan is just asking for problems.

dont knock it till you try it.
when installing my s/c the instructions said to use this same method. just punching it out and getting a tap to make the threads. but i took off my oil pan to do it. its holds very well, all i used is some honda-bond and it works like a dream, no leak at all.
