Do it right, replace it plain and simply. Why waste time trying to do a jimmy rig?

Because a repair will work just as good and is cheaper.

What do you mean? How could that be screwy. While welding a pan some oil ignited and built up pressure.....there's air and combustable material in an engine. I don't know any shop that will weld a pan on a car.

Oil's not a fast combustable,so it not like the pressure would be a very fast rise,like an opening an air valve.And if it has a EGR or a breather,it can let the pressure out fast enough.Pull I surely think it would blow out,say a valve cover gasket befor it would a intake...

JB weld it? Why don't you try some super glue? These were the worst cars ever built... I'm glad this has turned into a ford escort forum...

some people just don't have the money right away to replace an oil pan, nevermind the time that it takes to replace on some cars, never mind paying a shop to do it. most people don't have access to a welder either. jb weld will hold it over till you can do it properly, like i said above i used jb weld to hold my pan together when i had no other option and it ended up holding for 2 years
