Those With Aftermarket Oil Pans...question

[98stangv8]

There are 2 screws on the bottom of my canton 8 qt pan..one for the oil to drain, and another 3/8" allen bolt in the other...I am leaking a small amount of oil out of this...it is "pretty" tight, but I didn't know how tight to make this. Has anyone else had problems leaking out of this?

thanks!

maybe pull it out and wrap it with some teflon tape

where can you get teflon tape?

 

[bdcardinal]

any hardware store. walk in and ask for teflon tape, they will direct you to the right location.

You might just need a little more torque. Mine was leaking a bit after install. Tighten it a little more and there was no problem.

should it be so tight that it won't turn at all any more? I just kept turning it, and it was sinking further in....I just didn't want to overtighten it...
