Don't be too sure......
You can replace the pan vs repairing it, but don't assume that by buying a new one, it will be leak-free. I know of three brand new Canton pans that have (or had) weld leaks from new. The one on my Fox Mustang requires the engine to be pulled in order to fix it. A slow drip that annoys the h*%% out of me, but it will have to wait 'till there's a better reason to pull the engine out.
In the future, I will figure a way to pressure test any aftermarket pan I put on an engine before I install it.

This is the part that concerns me. Are these older stories or more recent? I can't imagine that Canton's QC is that bad, is it? They have to have mechanisms in place to pressure test every component that they manufacture.
A hot tanking, re-weld and fresh powder coat is far less than a new one. |

Red, My pan did not have problems with the construction of it. I scraped a hole in the bottom when I was giving my 300lb plus nephew a ride and bottomed out on some whoop-dee-doos...It is no fault of Cantons that I got a hole in mine. Droppoing the pan and welding it was not a major deal in the least. Should you decide to have your pan welded take it off and have it done OFF the vehicle. I decided welding it was the route for me since I have a welder and it was much cheaper for me to run a new bead than spend $400 for a new pan.

All three were bought new in the last two years. I don't intend to bash Canton, just point out that there are problems with even new pans.
Anyone know how to pressure test an oil pan?

I have 2 Canton road race pans in use right now, one on my 331 stroker road race car, bought used form a fellow CC member, so far, five seasons of racing, no leaks,no problems......
The other on my 65 Fastback, 351-W, been on the car for about 10 to 12 years now I guess....1,500 miles or more of open track running, over 100 1/4 mile drag passes and 25,000+ street miles, so far, no leaks,no problems, I guess I'm just lucky........
