I doubt it would even hold the oil in the pan once you fill it. Looks like we have an opportunity to find out though

grover posted:Little duct tape'll fix that! I don't know, but I over traveled the front axle of my 97 Land Cruiser into the oil pan by catching the lip of a dirt berm wrong at 40-50mph and cracked the oil pan. JB Welded it back together and it held for the next two or three years I had the truck.

Well, the glue melts at a fairly low temperature, which is one reason duct tape is pretty lousy for actual HVAC ducts. I can't imagine it'll hold onto an oil pan for very long.

Reminds me of this article on Jalopnik recently where the writer patched it with jb weld (magic stuff) and permatex. Sounds like the jb weld just slowed down the oil contamination though and he ended up just permatexing around it. http://jalopnik.com/5935258/the-super-hacky-oil-pan-emergency-repair-fix Some guy in the comments used a wax crayon to slow down the contamination enough to jb weld it.

It could work actually, both are "greasy" substances and could repulse each other until there's enough oil buildup. That's actually pretty freakin brilliant.

How much of a horrible idea would it be to flux core MIG weld a piece of patch metal in place without taking the pan off? (proper metals and proper wire, nothing like a piece of a tin can onto an aluminum pan with mild steel wire with a DC welder)

It's drat near impossible to get the oil out of the metal. If you do it without cleaning out the inside of the pan (because it's still on the engine), as you weld it'll suck oil into the bead making for a terrible weld that will leak.

What the gently caress happened here  Jeece posted:Not horrible but it happened to me, and it sucked: The one time I did that, it wasn't with a rock. It was with a connecting rod (and park of the crank) Apparently water doesn't compress. Who knew?  the_worm_ posted:The diff in this STI six speed wanted to be set free. (young driver, didn't understand clutch drops with wide sticky tires) At first I thought "that's a really cool cutaway". Then I noticed the broken teeth. So how many clutch drops does it take to do that?

Just don't hit anything, or get hit. Pretend you live in China and the airbag will kill you anyway. Seriously though I can't really see a shop skimping on the airbag of all things. They're expensive, but so are lawsuits, so if anything they'd buy a stolen one.

(proper metals and proper wire, nothing like a piece of a tin can onto an aluminum pan with mild steel wire with a DC welder) The only time I would even entertain the idea of doing this would be a situation where it was otherwise impossible to recover the vehicle but you could somehow get a portable welder close enough to make the fix. And even then it would just be a band-aid fix until you could get the vehicle into a garage and replace the pan. some texas redneck posted:Well that's nice to know, especially since my car's previous owner played a bit of bumper cars before I got it.

I have no idea if it's ever been replaced. I just know I've owned it for less than 3 years, and it has a very questionable history prior to my running across it. It's certainly been in a couple of small mishaps. I was being a bit sarcastic with the "welp disconnect airbags!" line, however.

I'm surprised injury lawyers haven't started putting ads on the airbag itself. Talk about a targeted audience!

Someone was kind enough to leave the entire tread of a Semi truck tire in the middle of the left lane on I-10 in a spot where I have concrete on one side and a SUV on the other. Of course I end up running over the goddamned thing at about 85 MPH, resulting in having to buy a $120 housing and a new bulb, because gently caress me that's why. I'm still pissed about it. I guess I should be thankful that I didn't lose one of those thousand dollar HID headlamps.. but gently caress truckers and their hosed up retreaded tires that fail all over the place.

It's not just retreads that separate. Any tire that's not correctly inflated and overloaded will.

Yeah consider yourself lucky you only have to change a light bulb... I had one of those bastards explode rubber and steel all over my car, smashing the windshield and A-pillar, ruining the hood, roof and fenders. Also my seat turned brown too.

Yeah, I got a substantial part of a truck tire flung at me on the freeway. I slowed down enough that it didn't smash my windshield, but I had no choice but to run over it. Smashed up the bumper pretty fiercely, and cracked the radiator.

How about a near Horrible Failure? My neighbor came over to talk to me this morning while I was working in the garage. While standing in the driveway chatting with him about how I sold my Defender, I noticed my Range Rover Classic had some weird crazy camber going on the passenger front wheel. On closer inspection.  Holy poo poo! I was driving this down the freeway at 80MPH just last night. I have no idea how those bolts backed out. I've never had them out in the 4 years I've had the truck. Pulled them all and Loctited them back in. Good as new. I'm still scratching my head on that one. I heard no strange bangs or clunks. I did notice some tire squealing in the garage at work the day before but thought it was because I was in a hurry.

Go look at a few 4x4 tractors. ancient live axle Toyotas employ the same axle design. I was at a fuel island at a truck stop several years ago when a driver ran a trailer into a concrete pilar and blew a tire, I was 10 feet from the explosion. My left ear still does not work right.
