okay short version of it:
i cut 2 inches out of the oil pan for more ground clearance, and added 2 boxes to make up for the capacity, sticking out of the front and rear of the oil pan. i welded it all up, used a flood light to look for holes found 3 pin holes that way, welded the pin holes up. then did a water test and it leaked, well more like seeped, i could see the water spreading on the out side, not dripping jet wetting it. so i ground down the first area and brazed it. well i did this about to about 10 places, and some of them more than once ( brazed a larger area ) and still have the seepage problem, could i just por 15 the oil pan to seal the holes or should i keep brazing and looking. and if not por 15 is there anything else i could use. i so far have used a 3 foot flux coated rod brazing this thing up, so now what |
