Motor Swapping Madness

hahahahahaha This is funny because I have a Nissan SR20, but wont pull a premium considering I cant put it in yet
Tires FTW
not only does it go under the pan, its infact attached via a bracket to the pan and block at the rear.;
GRANTED the oil pans are retarded thick, and the pickup is all the way to the other side. The motor I pulled today had a Spun #3 bearing from oil starvation
There is an air gap between the header and oil pan and any temperature absorption is negligible since the oil is already hot- since it is in direct contact flowing and lubricating everything inside the engine.
I still don't understand why they have a big metal bracket attaching the pan to the header though....
That silver upward bracket is very long and connected to the back of the block joining with the thick black intake manifold bracket. Not the pan.
The 92 automatic I just pulled the bracket attaches to the pan and the Intake mani bracket. Granted the 95 manual I pulled did not.
I fixed it for you.
The B18 pan is REALLY sturdy IMO, I damn near dropped that motor out of the integra, and then dragged it 3 yards on concrete with no damage.
I have heard horror stores about people tearing off D-series oil pans on lowered cars.
Yeah not familiar with EVERY engine variance, especially automatics, was wondering what motor you were talking about.
Steel pans are sturdy, but take one off or have to drill some holes in one and you see the gauge of metal is normal, nothing beefy though.
People are probably referring to the aluminum pans they switched to in '96. Those shatter on impact, while a steel pan would take the hit and keep on truckin'.

NOT a fan of any D16Y series engine at all, Crappy oil pumps, fragile designs, exploding oil pans, etc...
All the motors in my yard...err... garage, are steel.
