Re: [MBZ] oil view light
I used to work in a shop that used similar strategies only more like this: 1) Air chisel 6" jagged flap in pan 2) Bend flap out of the way- INTO the oil pan 3) R&R oil pump 4) JB Weld soup can patch over hole in pan 5) Bill customer for a full engine rebuild or factory short block + book rate labor Peter T.

Car had -0- oil pressure, might have a junk short block? Do you change oil pump? Rebuild engine? Car was about 5 years old. The guy who wrote the book should have seen this operation 1) Car on lift drop oil. 2) Air chiseler a 5" 3 sided hole in pan, bend it down. 3) R&R oil pump 4) Bend flat back up, Clean it real good, use alcohol as final rinse. Braze the resulting 3 corner cut pan. 5) Refill oil.
