Does anyone have any killer ideas for sealing the oil pan after welding in 
the extension to make it deeper.  I've got a damned good fabricator but he is 
getting tired of seeing me after  I leaktest and find pinholes weeping at the 
seams.  I keep dropping it and banging it around between sessions to find any 
potential leaks.
Sealing suggestions have been chrome plating and powder coating.  How about 
brazing or soldering?  I thought I'd use Glyptol as on the block.  Or will a 
couple more go rounds with the MIG and the grinder seal it forever?  I know 
this is a common issue with racers, hasn't everyone deepened their pans per 
Kas's manuals?
