I'm building a FFR coupe with a coyote motor and am going to put my oil cooler BEHIND the radiator!! That will help bring oil temp up a bit quicker but I'm told will still provide effective cooling. I don't know if we have room in the Z for that but it's an idea...

I just ordered my 2nd one. My last one went with the totaled car. Oh well.

Such is life.

Got my new oil pan today. Time for round 2 this weekend.

No more jiffy lube. Those threads are a bit fragile. Ever since I put my pan in I've been thread paranoid.

Ya aluminum oil pans are intimidating in that regard. That was why I made it a larger thread than the stock plug to begin with. Then I believe it was the 3rd production batch I decided to make it even bigger yet.

Nobody has reported tearing out their threads on the original pans yet, but I am sure the day will come that someone calls me up to ask about getting it welded back up and re-machined.

Not a criticism. I love it.
By the way those were my guys from ignite performance asking about the fuel starve install. . I finally got tired of putting it off and track season is looming large!!!

Oh awesome. So you just installed it then.

One thing you can do if you want, is use the side ports for draining oil also. They are a huge thread and would put less cycles on the smaller thread plug.

I am using a fuhmoto drain valve on my AL pan so I don't need to unscrew anything from the bung. It drains frustratingly slow, but I can also hook a hose up to it and drain it right into an empty bottle.

Are you running this CJM pan? If so got a link to which size valve you ordered?

They do not make them in AN thread sizes:

Size Chart | Fumoto® Engine Oil Drain Valves

-6 threads are 9/16-18.

They also appear to be about an inch deep:



So this wouldnt lend itself well to ground clearance on a bottom facing plug.

Nope... I run the Gamma pan. phunk has just pointed out that there is not a compatible valve.

Well, Batch 3 pan is much nicer than the original. Much cleaner.
