I just bought a 1941 Commander and noticed the previous owner had used JB weld on and around the drain plug. It was slipping and leaking. Currently it actually leaks very little but wanted to correct this. So have a couple of questions. First, can the oil pan be removed while the engine is still in the car or by tilting the engine up a few inches to clear the pan?
Second, are there any used pans around?
And will oil pans from different engines and year models fit. If I can't find a good used pan I'm willing to try welding the damaged unit.
Thanks
