Hi Folks;
I've got a 95 sc that I'm currently putting a "slightly used" 94 engine into.
The engine was rebuilt apparently 12,000km (8000miles) ago. Before putting it in, I'm cleaning it as it is very filthy.
It appears that the source of a lot of the oil (as near as I can tell) is from a very leaky oil pan, in particular, the front part.
Would it make sense to drill out the oilpan holes at the front of the pan so that I can get longer bolts and bolt the pan to the block at the front? As it is now, the front pan bolts do not actually go into the block and that seems like a long span to hold the front of the pan tight.
Thanks for your thoughts.
