A helpful suggestion-Do this before installing your oil pan

[aviaid]

OK so we take our lives in our hand and enter into the fray on the web. We leak check every pan before it goes out by filling it with water, and then blasting each weld around the whole pan with high pressure air, looking for bubbles on the inside. We do find leaks all the time which are repaired until we believe we find no more. We don't claim that pans go out leak free 100% of the time, but we do work with everyone that contacts us to get things fixed. That said we lease commercial space, we hire employees on the books, pay for workmans comp and health insurance, and all in California. We work to make sure the pans work, having made numerous changes over the years in form and function. We have 2 sources of Cadmium plating left in southern California. All exterior welds are gas welds, and maybe that may be part of the problem, given the quality of the materials that are available today, from cores to sheet. We were made aware of this post today by a customer whom we thank, because if we don't hear back, we can't work to fix it. We'll go back to work on welding and our processes and see what we can do to reduce our leak rate. One's too many for us.
