Subject: Sealling oil pan motor mount hole
Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2008 22:15:40 +0000
Message-Id: <072220082215.18967.48865C0C000A6C5000004A172200737478000007040C0B0E9D9B05@comcast.net>

I am using the stock 13b oil pan along with the cci motor mount.  The stock 13b 
oil pan has 3 motor mount holes that are utilized when mounted in the car.  In 
aircraft application with the cci mount only two of the three bolt holes are 
used.  I am looking for the best method to seal this extra hole.  Are some 
choosing to weld this hole (although this is a very important piece to the bed 
mount and needs to maintain a good seal, and a bad weld may warp the thin pan)?  
Or would a locking nut and bolt with some type of gasket maker do the trick?  
Possible some type of expandable plug like the ones used in a boats?  Not sure 
what to do looking for the best answer.

Thanks
Keith
