Cracked upper oil pan, JB Weld?


Well, I just cracked my oil pan. Trying to put my motor back together and got all the way down to the oil pan. As I was screwing it on I suppose it was bottoming out on one of the arp main studs I installed, and the stud cracked part of the pan. Crazy thing is that I wasn't even wrenching hard on it at all. Here's a picture of the crack, there's no chunks of the metal missing but the crack is definitely there. Is it possible to fix this with JB Weld or other epoxy or am I best off replacing the pan?

Awesome. Any recomendations for applying it other than clean the surface really well? And should it be on the inside and outside, or just the outside?

I would do both to be honest. Just be sure to clean the surfaces very well

After a bit of research you have a 50/50 chance with this. Tread lightly

Just replace it, a used one can't be that expensive
