1G OBX oil pan

I purchased this pan as well. The holes do not line up and the pan contacts the main cap on the #1 side. I ended up not using it for my build and instead picked up a nockoff oem style one from the parts store. Would not recommend!

I filled the pan with hot water to look for any leaks when I bought it, but there were none so moved on and modified the pan to work, mainly the bolt holes are way off I drilled new bolt holes, using a felpro oil pan gasket as a template, and clearenced the pan to main caps, there was some slag inside the pan to clean up as well.

I bought some aluminum stock drilled and threaded two m6x1.00 bolt holes and welded it to the turbo oil drain, it could be better, my other idea was to maybe weld a -12 or -10 AN return fitting. If only OBX was serious about making it right, they should line oil pan bolts up better its a nice upgrade from stock if your on a budget, and have the time and are willing to pay close attention to these problems.

I have heard Moroso pans even need slight filing for oil pan bolt holes, so look out for that even on name brand parts, otherwise it's been on a track car for a few years and it has not failed yet.
