My oil return line to the oil pan is being knocked off do to the engine torquing. I bought a new oil pan but need it welded at a lower location on the oil pan to the down pipe doesnt knock it off anymore. does anyone know if mineki (SP?) would do this?

thanks

 

It usually depends on the shop. Most are franchised and it just depends on how busy they are, how much of a car guy the shop foreman is, and what kind of mood he's in.
You could also use a bulkhead fitting http://www.buyfittingsonline.c...7.htm
I know $33.00 seems expensive, but any exhaust shop is going to charge at least $20.00 just to let you thru the door, and this thing can be replaced.
All you need to do is drill (or use a holesaw to cut) a 1" hole in the oil pan, slip a neoprene washer over the fitting, put it through the oil pan, add another washer, and tighten the nut. Then your AN line will screw right on.

 

hmm interesting thanks for the info

 

i doubt they would. maybe your first time wasnt welded on good enough
