A hole in the Oil pan

well.. i let someone borrow the car and they i guess tried to get air off a hill and busted the fu*k out of the underside of the car and they hit the drainplug .. which twisted upwards and made a hole in the pan. how can i fix this without taking out the pan?

i would probably say you cant. you probably will have to replace all of the pan. i could be wrong but thats what i think.

yeah but to replace the pan.. id either have to take off the sub frame or pull the motor.. either way i have to have a engine hoist.. which i dont have.. and i also dont have the tools or the time to take out the engine over some bullshit c*nt who cant drive

then make them pay for it do be done at the dealer or some other shop. one way or another i would make them pay for it, with money or something else if you get my drift.

they are like.. oh no we didnt even do anything .. i mean.. but its ok.. what goes around comes around.

hahah kinda late.. i get your drift now.. yeah.. ill think about that...

Actually my friend did the same but his dad welded the hole and it worked but i will say they had some left over parts and the low oil light wouldn't turn off.

Mig or Tig weld?

I am not sure but i will ask.

how bout some jb weld, i got it on my valve cover on my truck for now til i get a new set

MIG i am going to assume. But anyway, doesn't it get you when you are kind enough to let a person borrow something and then you get it back and it is broken. it always seems it "was like that when i got it" UGH. Sorry, just had to get it out

damn those kids down the street, always breaking my GI Joes...

oh and i would say TIG weld it

Replace the pan. Insert your fist into their mouth.They then have to replace their teeth. Then insert your foot into your ass for loaning your car out to someone you can't trust!!

yea ima have to agree with fajita, i would definatly beat some ass

ahh, getting air with a camaro that brings back memories. this one we hit dip at 80 and got so much...nevermind

*sighs* waiting for the jbweld to dry

i doubt you'll have much luck with jb weld. you'd have to grind all the paint off the area and get a real clean surface. do you have access to a mig welder? i think your pan is steel, and if you drain all the oil out and take your time doing a series of spot welds you shouldn't have a problem with heat or catchin anything on fire

well if its not a huge hole the jbweld should hold up for a while, but i would still plan on replacing the oil pan,do you have access to like a base hobby shop??

well i sanded and got rid of all the paint and shit around the hole.. the hole is about the side od a pencil eraser.. maybe even smaller... i drained all the oil out..(well what was left) and took a torch to the area i was jbelding, to get rid of any grease and oil.. then i sanded it again..
To take out the oil pan.. which is only 60 bucks at napa.. the engitre suib frame has to come out.. either that or i have to lift the engine out. i do work in a garage.. but my boss would never let me tie up a bay to do that job, even so... i live 3 miles away from work and id have no way of getting it there... if this jbweld dosent work im just going to mig weld it..(or is it tig weld?)

damn if its that small the jbweld will last a while

hey if it will last me long enough to sell it then im good

lol, im sure it will, just paint over it after it dries

well shit if that jbweld stuff is good enough to fill a crack in a head than im sure it will hold back oil through a pencil hole...

that's what your dumbass gets for letting someone borrow your car.
