C-4 Pan Replacement
Anyone have a recommendation on a replacement C-4 pan? Started cleaning things up last night and mine appears to be leaking from next to the drain plug and on the fill tube. Looks like the PO had patched it at some point but it doesn't seem to be holding any longer.
Also, and i'm sure this is a dumb question but I want to make sure, if the fill tube goes into the pan then I need a pan-fill style pan correct? I'm thinking i'll probably need to replace the tube/dipstick as well.
Thanks in advance!

Re: C-4 Pan Replacement
The dipstick tube needs to be really tight. It's a big flare seal. Drain plug was added. I really like the way the original pan funnels fluid to the pickup tube. Other deep pans can't do that. You can modify a case-fill style pan to accept the dipstick tube. Some pan manufacturers have kits to do that.

Re: C-4 Pan Replacement
The dipstick looks like it's been welded in after the fact which is why I was thinking it'd have to be replaced if the pan was replaced. Any good source for a replacement stock pan? I checked WH, Toms, BCB and LMC and the only one that had one is Tom's with a used one. I'd like to go new if possible just for the peace of mind but I can do the used one if that's the best way to go. Should I do a new filter at the same time as the pan/gasket?

Re: C-4 Pan Replacement
That style of pan is not made anywhere. Used is the way to go. Filter is good to change if you haven't done it in a long time. Drop a magnet in the pan too. Be careful of the spring and pressure relief valve that are held in by the filter.
Get the correct filter. Bronco filter and tube on left, wrong filter on right.

Hey just a heads up... viper is the MAN when it comes to C-4s. A couple of us are running C-4s that he has built, myself included. Get to know him well...
