It occurs to me that I should say "seal" the crack. It's not ever going to really seal, we'd just be trying to slow it down some. If we try that I think I'll strap a sled under the machine to catch the drippings... -Curt On Monday, January 30, 2023 at 01:07:10 PM EST, Curt Raymond wrote:

The idea was to sheet metal screw a metal patch on. The JBWeld/tape is just there to seal the crack. Again this was a "get it out of the woods" idea. I don't know for sure yet if we can actually get the pan out while the engine is in the machine... -Curt On Monday, January 30, 2023 at

You need something that will stick and seal to oil soaked porous metal. Good luck with that. Our 300SDL slipped off the floor jack once when I was letting it down after changing the oil. The jack pad punched a hole in the cast aluminum pan, leaving three pieces plus the pan. I took it to a

The absolute key to successful welding of aluminum is having it pristine clean. Which means removal of oil in the pores of the casting in this case AND removal of oxidation. Once aluminum is truly clean enough to weld, it oxydizes [think rusts] very quickly. Aluminum oxide forms an insulation
