+jackson j It's better to have a flat surface inside the pan so the fluid can freely drain. One the fluid level was low enough, it would block a small amount from being able to drain.
Thanks to your video I'm now going to do this on my 68RFE (Ram Cummins
transmission). Pans are thin, what ga wire did you use? Also, I see you are
sometimes pushing and sometimes pulling, which would work best to prevent
burnthrough? thx again, excellent video
+Broncocarl92 pushing is the"right" way to weld with MIG. its makes the weld colder aswell. when welding thin steel you should consider using TIG or getting someone professional to TIGweld it for you. if you concentrate the heat to much towards the nut you wont get a very strong weld on the tin side, witch can make it crack and leake even if its leakeproof just after welding due to the frequent heating and cooling of the oilpan over time :) just a little tip:)
My machine has .030 wire in it.. I never gave it much thought about the pushing and pulling, but I try to concentrate the heat on the nut not the tin.Thanks for watching.
