AXT uses 1/2" and I also used 1/2" on my daughters FJ55/3B turbo which is a Volvo turbo. The supply on the other hand is only 1/4" or so on both.

Good luck!

Above all keep it fun

I would check the condition of the oil pan. Many of the '60 series oil pans are getting thin due to rust etc. I replaced mine about 2 years ago since it was weeping THROUGH the pan. Same thing is happening with my daughters truck right now.
If you've cleaned the pan prior to working on it (probably), you might have cleaned off the last layer that seals it!
didn't have any leaks in my oil pan but when I got it off I noticed there are some bare spots up near the gasket(smallish, maybe 1/2 in. square) Where the paint has been worn off probably by scraping gaskets. Don't know how critical it is to recoat them and with what? I'm concerned about more of the existing coating peeling off and getting down into the oil. Any-one have any insight in this matter, I'd sure appreciate it.yup PRC is the bomb. I buy the sim kits for my plane. Mix up the tube and spread. PRC took man to the moon. #1 aerospace sealent out there.
But I DO NOT have a leaky pan, thanks for tip though. Cruiser guy is saying IF.
I think after using POR-15 it would make a tank non porous and very strong. That stuff is awesome. I am going to paint the outside of my pan with it before re-install.
I had too many oil leaks to have rust, LOL! some of the bolts were finger tight. wonder if the vibration loosened them over time??
wow, that would be thin.
I don't have rust issues on my pan, and the coating inside is perfect. won't be after I weld. But I do no how to control my heat(damp rag, slow welding) also it will be only a seal weld, not a huge penetration weld.
I will see what a gasket goes for.......
but I got lots of sealent. just don't think it will come off easy with sealent in the future.
can anyone tell me how important the coating on the inside of the oil pan is. my oilpan got a dent in it resulting from smack by the tie rod.yup PRC is the bomb. I buy the sim kits for my plane. Mix up the tube and spread. PRC took man to the moon. #1 aerospace sealent out there.
