Another Oil Pan Question
My oil pan is spewing oil and I thought I had the dreaded rust hole syndrome. Not really wanting to pull the motor which is required to get the pan past the oil pick up tube, or paying someone else for 17 hours of labor to to it for me, I crawled under the truck to get a good look. Where the Dip Stick Tube comes out of the pan is a large nut for lack of a better word. Is the tube threaded into the oil pan? If so can I unscrew it and seal the threads with thread sealer or JB Weld or something? I lose about four quarts of oil a week. I just put a ton of money, well about $4000 any into my truck for 4 new tires, shocks, and all new suspension under the front and I am at the point to where I have to make a decision, do I put more money into it or park it and save up $6000 for a rebuilt motor.
So, can the nut be JB Welded or the threads sealed? :humm: http://www.910r.com/Forum_Images/Plug.jpg http://www.910r.com/Forum_Images/Plug2.jpg |
If you have an expieranced welder in your area with a Mobile unit and TIG welds, it maybe able to be welded right there in place.

Thanks again for the help. |
I fixed mine by just tightening the bolt and covering it with RTV. Doesn't leak a drop
