Ditto!



I put my (1st one) on and it leaked like a siv. Faulty welds were to blame. I recieved my 2nd one and the oil level sensor wouldn't go in it because they screwd up the baffling and I sent it back again. They took 3 freaking weeks to do a 1/2 a$$ed hack job rework on my pan and sent it back. Now my pan is POS and I waited 2 months, get a different pan. I cleaned at least two teaspoonfulls of welding slag and wire out of it before I installed it, and I would have never freaking known if I hadn't just "made sure" prior to putting it on. CANTON SUCKS

my canton pan was a *little* warped when set on the motor... but that's with no bolts in it.

i used a GM pan gasket, with a little ultra black on both sides. no leaks. infact, the last time i took my motor apart, i actually bent a corner of the pan slightly trying to get it to break the seal loose.

it's currently sealed up, not leaking any oil, even with the bent lip.....
