I've been having some problems with my oil pan ever since I put my ITR header on. I have the LS oil pan, and when I went to install my ITR header, the header tube was touching right on the oil pan, so I had to bang it in a little bit so it would fit. Now I'm starting to develop some nasty oil leaks, and I think the pan is warped or something, because I've already replaced 2 oil pan gaskets.

So my question is, is the LS oil pan any different than the B16 oil pan? Would I have clearance issues with the header if I used a B16 oil pan instead?

If I did use a B16 oil pan, will the LS pickup work with the oil pan?

Help!

 

Just get in touch with Len and get a type r pan, p/u, and tray. ur problem solved

 

I have heard of people just letting them touch and having no problems even in the summer.

 

So the Type R pan is different from the B16 and LS pan?

 

Yes.

Well, now that explains why the ITR header rubs against the oil pan...

 

So are going to tell him he needs a 3 main gurdle to or what.
You should just tell him to get a gsr block and call it a day.

 

I'm running an LS/VTEC as well, and I'm using an OEM ITR header... not the nice JDM style one, but the USDM one. I'm also using an LS oil pan. I have no issues with rubbing at all. I can also verify that the B16/LS ones are exactly the same, as I;ve used an LS pan and a B16 pan on my old B16A with no issues.
