    1G 6 bolt Moroso Baffled Oil Pan clearance issues

    Does anyone have a moroso baffled pan installed in a 1G and had clearance issues with the cross member? I attached a picture with the general area I’m talking about I didn’t get a picture with the cross member attached. But I was wondering if anyone else had this issue and what you might have...

    Is it OK to Turn 4G63 Long-Block Upside Down on Engine Stand for roughly 24 hours?

    Would it be a problem to rotate my mostly assembled long block upside down on my engine stand and leave it like that for roughly 24 hours while I reseal the oil pan?The oil is drained out and I would drain the rest of the coolant remaining in the block prior to doing so. I am, however...

    Resolved 2G Transmission spline stuck in transfer case

    The spline going into the transfer case seems to be stuck in the transfer case. Any tips on removing it? I've seen previous posts about trying vice grips on it and hammering it towards the transmission, but that didn't work. All the transmission fluid leaked out also if that means anything, I...

    Oil Starvation & Road Racing | Baffled Pan? Accusump?

    I’ve been reading quite a bit in the forums from throughout the years about drivers’ ongoing efforts to combat oil starvation on the track, most commonly due to the high G’s and intense cornering in Time Attack. I personally know someone who lost their engine because of this. I’ve seen a lot of...

    Shorter bolts on oil pan- FWD 2G

    (97 GST) So super noob question here. Does anyone know where the two shorter bolts on the oil pan are precisely? About to put in a new pan for the first time, previous owner crushed it. I know I'll see the bolts as I take the pan out but pretty paranoid about it anyway, and wanna be sure I don't...

    1G Leak around oil pan, likely sources?

    There's an oil (or possibly steering fluid) leak around the oil pan near the driver's side area. I'm not sure if it's the pan seal, oil cooler, pump or something else. I cleaned everything earlier this year and the car only has a few hundred miles on it since, so it's a fair-sized leak that I...

    2G Scratched rear main seal

    Howdy tuners, hoping for some advice for another newbie who made a mistake. Pulled my tranny to put in my new clutch and found my rear main seal was leaking. I used the screw method to pull the old seal and drove the screw in a too far scratching the back lip of the seal housing. It does not...

    1G What else should I replace while replacing the oil pan?

    I’ve decided to keep my car instead of selling it. I’m stubborn and not giving up. Anyways, I still have a oil leak after drilling and tapping my return line to my oil pan so I’m ordering a whole new pan and oil return line from STM. I noticed my oil filter housing is leaking as well so I’m...
  12. 1G Crankshaft/Piston Oil Squirters

    So I'm changing my oil pan on a 1g 4g63, I bottomed-out and it got bashed in, the oil pick up looks okay it's just ever so slightly dented - when I was pouring the remnants of oil out of the old pan the #1 piston and #2 piston oil squirters fell out with it, they're broken off. Everything else...
