ok i have a 10an male weld fitting but i was thinking i could use a flare union w/ some locknuts or maybe a AN port adapter w/ an oil ring seal, just dont want to have any leaks. whats a good weldless method? ill be using 10an fittings btw. earls parts is what im looking for....

JBweld is your friend.

here's what you do. Drill about a quarter inch hole in your pan. Take a large punch and hammer it into the hole. The punch will flare the metal inwards to give you more surface for threads. Use a 3/8 pipe thread tap on the flared metal and screw in your fitting. I did it and I'm leak free, no JB weld.

No JB weld (sucks)

Take it to a welder. Remember to clean oil pan for him first

Its the best way IMO

Just spend $25 and have a machine shop weld it for you. Money well spent.

make sure to loctite or teflon tape that badass before screwing it in for extra certainty

Use a bulkhead fitting with two oiltite washers. You'll be leak free. It's what bulkhead fittings were designed to do.

who's oil pan is that, I think the fitting is too low on the pan and why is it on the drain plug side of the pan?

Where would i be able to find these fittings. I jb welded mine and it leaks

Tomakit

It's an oil pan from a cl I believe.

But how come your return enters on the backside of the pan?

your fitting is tapped too low in the pan and should be at the front. otherwise it looks clean, not like my JB weld masterpiece - of -****.

niedejb

Yeah its a CL pan. Everyone says its too low but it works great.

Had to go to the back of the pan since its an accord kit on a CL...downpipe in the way.

Think about it...the turbo is a good 18" higher than the -10 fitting. That whole line would have to fill with oil before backing up into the turbo.

where did you get that bulkhead fitting?

niedejb

Local hydraulics store. Any shop that deals with custom hoses should know AN stuff. AKA....JIC fittings.

-10 bulkhead, -10 90 degree female/barbed
