#53280, "WELDING oil drain fitting; oil pan PRESSURIZED question; Soldering recommendation" Aug-03-03 07:34 PM by jsupetran
do you all think it would be a good idea to weld the oil drain fitting from the inside and outside areas. i was thinking that this would help eliminate all possibilities of leaks in this area.
also
is the oil pan pressurized?
i am doing the turbo install piece by piece (sfmu done; vac line done; boost gauge done) and am thinking of doing the turbo drain line this week but of course, it won't be draining any turbo oil. so maybe attaching the drain line, point it up, use some type of tie to secure it to the body against any hard impact so that once all is said and done, just attach the turbo on.
if the pan is pressurized, then of course the oil would squirt everywhere and scratch this idea.
finally, i was attempting to solder the inline fuel pump components with a radio shack 15 watt solder. needless to say, the solder didn't make a dent. what are you all using, and where did you all buy them.
