Got a mig welder? Thats aluminum. If you use er70s-6 wire for mild steel on a nut that will fit in there somehow you can try doing that. The question is... what nut can you get in there haha
I might get some hate for this... but get some black FIPG and put it around the rubber "gasket" on that oilpan on the side where it mates to the block. Every single one of those ive ever installed has leaked until i started putting the FIPG on them. Run a very thin bead and put a good sized goop in the corners. They like to leak in the middle of the longer straight side on the passenger side. Since I started doing the FIPG, none have leaked and mine and the one other that i had to drop the pan to apply it.. havent leaked again either
Yup got a welder and suitable wire. I agree the hard part is finding a nut that fits and a socket that fits that counterbore.
I used some permatex black on the corners but nothing along the rest. I’ll keep that in mind thanks!
