Guys,
I'm beginning to think my car is cursed. I have 1,000 miles on my motor and my Canton pan cracked along the bottom. I welded it up but it was such a huge crack (nope, didn't hit anything, just a stress crack) that I don't have much faith in it, nevermind the fact that it looks like $hit. I have an
oil cooler on my car so I was thinking of going with a stock pan. I can't get any specs on the pan to see what the clearance or capacity is, but I can't imagine it is lower than the Canton pan (8 3/4 inches deep).
After reading the various threads on this subject it seems to me that if I go with the stock pan I shouldn't have the problem with cracking, but will there be enough capacity and do I really need the higher perfomance of an after market pan.
By the way I thought the Canton pan would be this super thing with trap doors and baffles, but there were none to be found.
So what do you think? Buy a stock pan, continue with my Canton pan and see if it leaks again, or call Stef's and have one made?
thanks
