Default LF Better Oil pan

Well after a few failed attempts and even having a couple shops work on it I am sick of the oil leaks from the JWT spacer and oil feed lines going to the Turbo. What I want to do is just get rid of the spacer and just get a better oil pan. Anyone know of a good pan that maybe has some fitting for oil return?

Oil pan or spacer? I want a pan, looking at the APS of the Power Enterprise.

The JWT is the same as the AAM, except its not pre-dilled/tapped.

What is leaking? The proper application of ultra grey to clean surfaces is 100% guaranteed not to leak around the spacer.

If you can't install the spacer properly, then you most certainly do not want one of the easily stripped oil pans listed above

^^Fumoto drain valve/plug would take care of that. And most of those pans also have internal baffling to help prevent oil starvation and external fins to aid in cooling.

I may just try to redo it again but I would rather just have one pan. Its leaking from either the top or bottom of the spacer and its not super bad just a pita.

Im looking at the APS pan and just getting an adapter for my TN kit oil return line (3/8 to 3/4 I think) until I kill my 3rd Turbo and end up replacing the kit, lol.

I have one APS oil pan in stock. This might be the last one in the country.

Appreciate the sarcasm but the surfaces are leaking a ultra fine oil mist that accumulates over time. The real issue is the T fitting for the oil feed/pressure gauge. I think it was slightly stripped by a shop a while back when my new motor was installed. It is my intention to redo everything and I just want a new pan to remove one seating surface and look better.

definitely buy a fumoto drain for that APS pan. The plug is super easy to strip out as the aluminum threads are very soft.

^ you only need that adapter for the T in the engine block, not for the oil pan.

Did you lose the original one that came with the kit? Otherwise, its easier to use a sandwich plate to feed oil to the turbo. No leaks and easy install

I might be confused. The TN kit uses a 3/8 NPT oil drain fitting and the APS oil pan has a 3/8 BSPT right. Are these compatible? The T fitting for the oil feed/ pressure gauge is taken care of. I use TQ wrenches for everything so I hopr stripping wont be an issue.
