Author Topic: Oil pan (Read 3545 times)

Ok, so i've been searching around the forums, and found a few topics, I just bought a windage tray with the rubber gasket, and I have an oil pan coming as well.
My question is, does the windage tray from the 1.9 engine need to be modified in any way to fit, will the stock bolts work? seems like the rubber gasket is a bit thicker than normal. Anything else I need other than the windage tray for a straight bolt on application?

I found this after I payed for a stock oil pan http://store.blackforestindustries.com/hdturbooilpan.html

Is this oil pan all that much better than the stock one? I mean, clearly, it is...I guess what i'm wondering is if I should get it instead of the other one coming?

Thoughts, comments, answers welcome.

Thanks everyone,

If you have a turbo ol pan coming, just stick with it. The other is made with heavier guage, thats great but if you hit something hard enough to wreck a standad pan, chances are this one will not offer much more, if any additional protection.

understood, what about the baffle? Do I need specific bolts? or is this just a straight bolt on?, or bolt in, in this case.

mothing specific needed, you may want to set the gasket on the pan and stick a bolt up through it to see how much bolt sticks through.

A good rule of thumb on small bolts is to have twice the amount of threads available to thread in the block than the bolt is wide. The threaded part of the shaft is what I'm refering to not the head. So if the bolt was say 1/8" across you want at least 1/4" of threads.

When I did it it was a simple bolt on. You do need to remove the oil pickup screen

And be very very very gentle when you do... over time they become *insanely* brittle and love to crack at the little flanges that grab ahold of the oil pickup. BTDT... at least twice. :roll:

:shock:

I see so the oil pickup screen gets put back on after then baffle is in place?
I'm confused and a noob, so steps would be good. :roll:

What I did was to leave the PU screen attached to the pump.
Remove the oil pump.

Lift the windage/pan gasket in place, reinstall oil pump, install pan.

You wont even need to hold the gasket in once the pump is reinstalled.

It'll all make sense when you are looking at it with oil dripping in your face :lol:

If you can drop your pan a day in advance to let all the oil settle
