Machines | Oil Pan Modifications for Turbo and 4 Bolt Main Small Block Ford #DarkMatterPikachu
videos | at work | information | view | construction
Check out Kalvinator Engines: http://www.kalvinatorengines.com While prepping the engine block for painting, we ran into a couple of issues. The first isn't so much an issue as it is something we had to do to accommodate the turbo, and that was install a drain port for the oil return. The second problem that came up was with clearance of the 4 bolt main block. The original block was only 2 bolt main, my new block has 4 bolt mains. Because of that, we needed to 'clearance' the oil pan to get it to fit onto the block. It's all part of the process when you want to go fast. Thanks to Justin Frische for his help in this video.

This was hard to watch, you could have drilled a hole and welded a proper bung into that pan in half the time it took to hack it apart like they did.
-
I like the instruction you said about them saying no drilling the pan coz of chips & yet you have to thread the hole for the fitting.= chips. haha. Yes in your case the pan was off so did not matter.
-
Half of these comments are people who never wrench on cars before. Put some elbow and grease is to it and it will work.
-
A/N bulkhead fitting.
To connect a braided steel a/n line....... -
just did a weld in bung on mine. oil return lines outside of race hoses tend to deteriorate and blow.
-
Does anyone know if you would need to make 2 holes for the oil return line on a Twin Turbo setup? Or can you just get an adapter to run 2 hoses from 1 hole?
-
1:15 Pilot hole and a stepped drill. What the actual hell guys? I would have never though to chisel out a hole in a million years...
-
I enjoy watching Eric's video's and I'm sure he's a good guy but this video is just too much. I don't where he got that oil pan (it looks like junkyard stuff) and threading an oil return into thin metal like that with sealer? Wow. The goofiness is getting a little old also. No disrespect but this one was just too much.
-
Hey Eric I've been patient about the fairmont progress but what's going on what's the last video you've posted on it???
-
a professionals worst nightmare is when the professional customer is sitting there over your shoulder second guessing every move
-
you know you keep replying with "that's what the instructions called for" any monkey can read a set of instructions I thought you'd have better common sense since you work on cars and seem proud to be a mechanic but after watching this... nope. Thought it would be better. i'm with the other guy I hope to god I never run into a shop like this.
-
i dont usually like silicon used to seal anything on the oil pan, but maybe in this case they have a good reason. Silicon getting into the oil can clog the oil pickup.
-
He is pounding that hole out for sure!
-
Really bad idea
No matter if it's in the instructions
Badly written instructions my friend -
Lol this shit is something you would do in your moms driveway not in a "professional" machine shop where you could have welded a fitting onto the pan. I can't stop watching this and loling at these tards
-
Very disappointed in this video. A complete lack of professionalism. I do not think I would ever do business with the shop after seeing this kind of work they perform and consider acceptable. I don't really care what the instructions say, this method was just wrong anyway you look at it.
-
eric i just ask that you make an etcg1 video admitting that this method is not ideal. even diy guys wouldve had someone weld in a fitting. whats a new oil pan gasket and a fitting gonna cost? thats totally in the average guys budget.
-
Just wondering could you have tig welded a 1/4 inch piece of steel and drilled and tapped that? Just wondering.
-
This is On3 kit and this is how my instructions said to make the hole as well(07 GT) and I have put around 30k miles on mine with zero leaks.

Should have brazed a female brass bung with 5% silver rod and be done forever. That IS going to turn itself loose in the worst time (most likely in the burnout box). You're on time to fix this. Good luck.
