What happens here

The custom-built oil pan with integrated piston oil squirters, initially intended to connect to a different oil line system, needs modification. The existing bung for the oil line is in conflict with the car's frame. To resolve this, the old bung is cut out from the oil pan using a hole saw, and a new bung is welded into a revised, higher position. This ensures proper clearance and allows the piston oil squirters to function effectively without interference from the chassis. This custom fabrication work is critical for the engine's long-term durability and performance.

Goal: Relocate the oil pan bung to prevent interference with the chassis and ensure proper function of piston oil squirters.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill Milwaukee — Powering the hole saw
  • Hole Saw Craftsman — To cut out the existing bung from the oil pan

  • Safety Glasses — Protecting eyes during cutting and welding
  • Welder — To weld the new bung into the revised position on the oil pan
  • Welding Gloves Tillman — Protecting hands during welding
  • Welding Helmet Vizor — Protecting face and eyes during welding

so I took the pan home with me most of you people watching these NASCAR videos probably have no idea that we know what we're doing and build cars and that I used to fabricate things before I started making YouTube videos Lake doesn't even know that but he's about to find out because I'm going to cut this bung out and move it up here so it doesn't hit the frame rail anymore what I'm gonna do is flip this drill bit inside out or replace it with a rod that way I can use it to cut this out without the drill bit screwing up the threads in there we're going to reuse this entire bum if you're wondering while the racket
