Extra hole for oil pan mounting on newer motors?
Extra hole for oil pan mounting on newer motors?
About half a year ago, I bought one of the new crate motors from Malloy and only started working on it recently. The first thing was to redo the oil pan and to add an oil pan brace. After taking off the oil pan, I noticed that the factory doesn't use the paper gasket anymore (nice), and that the strainer was fairly clean (I recall reading comments about the remans been done poorly and having silicone on the strainer). One of the other things I noticed is that there is an extra bolt hole for mounting the oil pan now. I had to drill out my oil pan brace to accomodate for this and then add an extra 10mm bolt (20mm threaded length). This fits perfectly under the steel motor mount. The aluminum mount has an extra nub on it, so it would not work with this. I've attached a photo of the oil pan and brace. Not sure if this is common knowledge in the forum yet, so I decided to post this just in case.
