Thanks. Yes the bottom of the pan is 1-2” deeper than the skid plate. You’re right ‘to some point’. The pan rail I’ve found leaks not an insignificant amount. So probably forced to remove it anyway. If I can’t remedy re-torquing I’ll likely opt for the stock Hemi pan. (I’m not immune to...

Thanks! I’ll tuck the sources away in case.

It’s been cold here since the car was delivered. Yesterday changed the black coffee oil for new 10/40. I had purposefully not ran it much until having fresh oil. But today ran it altogether about an hour - flushing coolant. The psi settled at 45 which feels a lot better range. I guess I hadn’t...

Ok. That’s just about where it is now - if the dip stick is correct. Came with a SunPro gauge that’s reading about 75 lbs at normal idle. Soon going to replace it so I have more confidence what I’ve got. Mechanical was the way I intended. Thanks for the reinforcement. AMEN!

Good point. Conceptually thinking of changing the rake (slightly - maybe a couple inches). In addition to swapping the 14s for 15s.

Yeah, not knowing any better I wondered if that might be a factor also. But, if the xtra capacity is simply deeper from stock wouldn’t the stick still read from the same as stock pan level. Full is full, just more volume to get get the same full level? I couldn’t decide which.

Ha. None actually. But it is missing a lot of paint down there :lol:

It’s a street car now. Prob has been its whole life but I have no history unfortunately.

What I remember about the episode was a conclusion that oil flow is more critical than oil capacity.

I’d assume then the Baja 500 is out of the question.

That helps about watching the dipstick. Thanks! Oh and also taking speed bumps at an angle. :thumbsup:

The SunPro oil pressure gauge idles at 75psi. I can’t be sure the gauge is correct but if it’s accurate is that too high?

Thanks. I wasn’t clear on it.

Follow up question. Does a deep capacity pan translate to the motor running at a higher relative oil pressure?

Sorry. Must be losing my mind.

‘66 Hemi Satellite. First change. No ownership history or docs. Service manual is 5 qts incl filter. I took between and 7-8 QTs out and was reading at the fill line (maybe another qt to be full)? =8-9? Does the pan look aftermarket higher capacity? Thanks!

Used Lacquer thinner and a plastic scraper. Looks 100% better. It’s hard to pick up in the photos but I left some red patina on the handle across the middle.

Thanks. Good idea. Yeah I have a similar DECAL WORKS plastic applicator. I haven’t tried yet but believe will have to soften the paint before scraping off.

Yep. You gave me the right source! The CI description photo is hopefully accurate enough to give me more hope it will fit like I need it to.
