New Project Recovery

[ShowStopper]

Was that the same cracked pan you had bought? I would be weary to use it, had cracked my M20 pan and had it welded, held good but used to seep a bit of oil...

Yup same oil pan. but i had one before i had welded and never leaked. i going to test it as soon as i find a sending unit to see if it leaks.

I think the designers of the E36 rack were big Star Wars fans...

lol as long as it works better then the e30 rack i will be ok lol. and at least its cleaner.

Yea mine didn't leak at first, after a few weeks i noticed it was seeping a little. My buddy welded it, he did the best he could but a piece of it was missing so he had to use the wire to fill it in i think that's probably more the reason it seeped. Hopefully it doesn't leak was just giving you my would suck to button everything up and have to change the oil pan.

[ShowStopper]

i hoping it wont. nothing is a guarantee until its on for awhile. but all precautions are being takin . and if its bad i will get another. lets just hope it works right now lol
