|
|
Hi all, I have searched the forum to no avail and know that the following question has likely been answered at some point.
My Pajero, 1992 2.5td, diesel 4wd needs a new oil sump/pan.
Currently, in the UK I cannot find one anywhere and the Pajero has been laid up in my mate's garage for the last 3 months since I blew a hole in the sump.
Do you have a recommendation on where I can find a replacement? Is it possible to have them patched and welded as I think this one will be pretty porous and rotten from repeated immersion in seawater after launching and recovering my boat? What about a fibreglass casting could that be possible?
I truly hope you can solve this one for me as it woulda be shame to write off the Pajero when it worked well. |

Mitzi Bitz had an oil sump/pan.
Many thanks to a local Asian scrapyard that gave me the advice to contact them.
Within 2 days the sump arrived at my mate's garage.
Fingers crossed as things always go wrong for me. I'm, staying positive for once. |

You need to treat it before use and this can be easily done.
If your sump is porous you can actually repair them by body leading which is the ol technique of filling bodywork with lead instead of body filler and working that and being fairly low temperature means it is unlikely to buckle if done correctly.
Take your old sump and totally degrease it and remove any oil you can and get this clean, fit the oil drain bung and get something called Drain Stain which is available from plumbers and builders merchants cheaply so shop around as prices do vary.
Put a couple of litres of water into your sump and add a couple of spoons of drain stain to the water and stir, keep adding water and fill the sump until it is as full as you can get it, if there are any leaks you will see it running out and if you can't the stain will show you by leaving a coloured stain.
Circle all your leaks and drain your sump and as this is non toxic it can go straight down the drain, take a picture on your mobile phone and clean the side of the sump with IPA ior thinners and let it flash off and evaporate,
You need to tin your sump metal and you can simply apply flux and some lead and hope it tins or you can get something called body flux paste which is flux and lead powder made into a paste and you paint it around your thin sections and within your circles where your holes are; take a blow torch and gently heat until the flux works and the lead within the paste changes colour and adheres to your sump and let it cool, add some body lead and warm the area just until the lead melts and you can work the just molton lead around the holes and let it cool.
Turn your sump around and do the other side and then the ends if necessary and remember if you do the bottom then remove the drain bung first as it easy to solder them shut. |
