To those guys that are doing swaps that the lowest point of their oil pan is no longer in stock location, I found these nuts from honda that will assist you in your needs.

Yes, you can use any normal M14-1.5 nut, but they are a little harder to come by and they won't have a flange on it like these:

Part numbers are in the pictures:
#1 90213-S5A-003, sells for $0.50 off of hondapartsdeals.com


#2, 90213-S3Y-000, sells for $1.53 off of hondapartsdeals.com


#3, 90382-SJK-000, sells for $1.94 off of hondapartsdeals.com


From left to right, #1, #2, #3




If you don't know what this is for, you don't need it.

I'd reccomend #2 IMHO.

 

and what plug/"drain" bolt would one use?

Stock. That's why I found these M14-1.5 nuts

 

same nut i just used on mine! where was this 3 days ago! haha

you rock my socks bense

 

What bit did you use to redrill hole and how did you weld it on? tig, wire?

Did you have to strip the black paint to get to clean metal??

Did you locate on inside of pan or outside? Outside seems more realistic for oil drainage but the inside of oem pans don't allow for complete oil draining which sucks.

Those are my questions.

In for pics of completed project pan.

 

I dunno, 9/16" or something. It doesn't really matter if you use the stock plug + this nut. Weld it on the outside. Just don't put it on the bottom like me, i slammed it into the ground and ruined my pan so i had to buy a new F23 one for my F20B.

I will have to pull this pan off to drain all the oil for now. But i'm gonna get another one and keep this one as a spare in the back of my hatch, my pan sits that low.

Sorry but I LOL'd

I saw the picture in the H2B thread of your pan and WOW. Kinda low.

So just drill hole and weld nut on front side of pan about 1/16 inch above the scrape line and your good but don't hit a curb,bump,pothole or your Fukked.

Or fabricate a skidplate and modify it to act as a jdm radiator flow plate to force air over your radiator and exhaust manifold to keep the coolness flowing.

Projects coming along great Bense. Now if only I could get my expensivemans R finished.

 

thanks bro

And I just added prices above the pics

Good post. This also applied to many "H2H" EFs.

I'm currently using a power steering pumped rigged to a drill with a tube shoved into to low part of the oil pan. sucks the oil out.

Hey so I need a f23 pan gasket for my f20b. What year and model of USDM accord came with those?

 

98-02 had the f23. If you have the steel pan it doesn't use any gasket it at all, It just uses honda bond all the way around

 

Im pretty sure it was alum but all it had was honda bond so I guess I better go give it the magnet check

 

Good post , thanks Bense
