I apologize for asking a stupid question, but I assume DOHC is M50/S50/S52-swapped E30?
I have an S52, but I have an aftermarket billet aluminum oil pan that has three drain plugs. It's based on the M50 pan, but no idea if the drain holes would align with your pan:

Got around to installing mine yesterday. Thought it was cool that it had e30/m42 stamped into it.
Getting it on with the splash guard was a bear. Had to 'clearance' splash guard a bit. If you're going to run it with splash guard - skip drilling the middle hole - or you'll end up boogering up the tab where the guard goes in.
Side shots with m42 pan. I feel much better now that the plate is on.
I've run on the track, bottomed out MULTIPLE times on the road and track and the skid plate has done fine. I actually had to space it down about .5" for peace of mind clearance, but all in all, I love the plate.
Not trying to shit on your product, but it's pretty obvious. I made something similar myself and after two hard hits it bent up against my pan.
After the first hard hit I would have checked the plate. If it was bent I would have fixed it. My plates are built for people with some common sense. And thanks for not Shitting on My product.
