psumech Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I'm signed up for a track day on monday and scraped my oil pan loading onto the trailer. There is a pinhole leak, so I need to get it fixed. Does anyone near philly/NJ have any hookups with the local dealers where I could get the part today/tomorrow early AM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can't risk spraying oil on the track and cause a bunch of missed sessions, or worse cause a crash. My hope was someone might be able to really weld it, or better yet know a parts guy at a dealer that could do me a huge favor and grab a replacement tonight. Unlikely, but I though it was worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 In s pinch, drill thru the pinhole, tap the hole, then red loctite (or even JBW) a screw in place. You'll need to to remove than pan so as to not get metal bits in the oil, but you'll be doing that anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howlinhoss Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I wouldn't risk an oil spill at the track. If you spill oil all over the track you could end up with a large clean up bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member wickedtwister Posted June 20, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted June 20, 2016 Welding or replacing is the way to go you can tap and plug in a pinch but I wouldn't do the track day if I were you. Some tracks charge a lot for a cleanup fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member hobbs Posted June 20, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted June 20, 2016 You may have luck checking an indie harley repair shop (especially vintage repair). Most experienced guys have repaired a few cracked cases or cooling fins in their day so this would be right up their alley. Everything went braap.
