Oil Pan Question.

[got_no_sol]

So I sold my car a couple months ago. For those who don't remember I had the megan racing dp on my gsx, but I had to have it hacked together to fit right because I had an "odd" o2 housing.

Anyways the guy who I sold my car to yesterday calls me and tells me that "the dp cut a hole in my oil pan"

First off I'm thinking "What the hell did you do ? Jump the car?"

So anyways he explains the situation today and says that from what a couple shops have told him, the dp was rubbing against the oil pan while shifting and gradually rubbed a hole in the oil pan.

Now from what I remember the dp was at least 1-2 inches away from the oil pan when I had the car.

For those of you who haven't had experience with the megan piece, it is a good quality product but the SS isn't very thick.

In my mind there is NO way that a thin stainless steel dp could "rub through" an oil pan.

Am I correct in thinking this?

sounds like he probably tore up the motormounts to get it to rub... his fault for not catching it in time...


sucks to be him.

Why are there caterpillars on the weld? And omigod, a FRAM oil filter, the world will end.

Look at the front of the pan. He ran into something.

yeah and I had the exhaust "professionaly" done. What a joke. Sounded awesome though.

Oh and that picture is actually from when I hard the car, and the scratches are from the previous owner.

The fram filter - yeah I know, I think it was actually at the time of that picture that I switched to a purolater (notice the oil coming out of the oil drain).

So anyways, does the rubbing through theory sound plausible?
