OIL PANS-Aviaid, Canton, Moroso ect. ?

[Jerry Clayton]

I spend hours and hours beating on Canton pans to get them to clear everything--the Aviaid goes right on.

Plus the fact that I am very loyal to them even tho all the old personnel are gone--I have been involved with the original guys ( Tom Davis and Rodney) developing several things, including the first dry sump system for the Donovan 417 which was an alum tapered pan with a front cam driven 3 stage drysump pump that then also drove the fuel pump. Also did some of the work building parts for the turbo scav pumps for the Offy indy car engines.

I haven't had any problem with my last Canton fitting. I bought the stud kit and the pan attached without any issues. Like I mentioned, it was a problem with the screen and dipstick tube.

That's a real cool resume you have !

I don't see how the screen interferes with the dipstick or tube since it attaches to the pan on the kickout. What am I missing?

Well, if the color of the Canton pan is that awful looking gold, then you have to add some extra money to anodize or powdercoat the pretty silver color like the Aviaid pan.

The Aviaid pan looks beefier to me, but "I'm no expert."

I failed to look at Summit's site for Canton products. Thanks.

I don't know exactly how the stick broke. When I take the pan off, I'll look into it. It could be, that with the stick having etched marks for the oil level, it could have snapped off there.

Yeah, I agree. They need to add a polished aluminum pan for me, as I like eye candy.
