This is why oil pans are the perfect "I want to do something practical with welding now that I know a bit more" project if there's even the slightest excuse to make one. 1. It's a lot of long welds! Great for putting all those TIG skills out there for the world to see. 2. You get to hide the end result underneath your car for the world not to see or know of, only you know what you did. 3. There's a visual "your weld failed" indicator it'll leave on the drive way. (or an audio-visual indicator at highway speed)

And so relatable. Throw it away and start anew! Although starting anew is a lot of work and we've got a basically finished one right here.

One tip for stainless is to clamp a piece of copper or aluminum to the back of the weld to suck the heat out while the weld is still protected by the torch.

Man, this one was like watching Matt do surgery on a cute baby seal with a dull foam pool noodle. It seems like the patient survived but not for lack of trying lol! Got it, don't use stainless for oil pans. We'll learn something either way, thanks Matt!

So... Turns out Stainless is a seriously interesting material to work with... Watching you run into two of the big problems with stainless was entertaining(?) :) It turns out that stainless is MUCH more sensitive to warping than structural steels. It turns out this means you've got to be REALLY on top of your setup, weld procedure (sequencing, no long runs, moving around the part) and ensure that you move FAST. Stainless is one of the harder materials to weld... Try using backstepping and lots of start and stop, while sequencing around the part. It also turns out that stainless work hardens enormously when machined... There are specific settings you've got to use for machining stainless... Normally the trick is to increase feed per tooth pretty significantly, this is because each chip formation creates a work hardened area where the material is separated... You have to cut deeper than the work hardened area to be able to get a clean cut, otherwise you'll just cook your part and have chatter problems... This may drive you to using smaller finer inserts in your mill because your mill stiffness can't keep up with the cut requirements for larger inserts... Try small finishing inserts for your cuts... They'll lower the forces and allow you to use a sensible fpt. Or you could avoid stainless in future :) Also, if that filter mesh is stainless you'll probably get stress corrosion cracking and feed the filter or weld debris into the pump... Good luck :) Oh, and I do love watching these things :)

Annoyingly there isn't a Fusion equivalent yet.

You have the most advanced, complicated 6th grade humor on Earth, and I’m here for it.

Loving the progress Matt! One word of caution with stainless. When welded without back purge you get 'sugar' (grit) on the back sides of the weld. I made a water injection tank a few years back without back purge and it was full of it. I ended up sealing the backs of the weld with some PU sealer. I would try to die grind / clean up any areas you have read through on the welds back to clean metal then give a real good clean. Grit and bearings don't mix

I knew I had seen that slots an circles design somewhere and then I realized it’s on the side of an abandoned warehouse downtown! I always figured those “tagger” kids with the spray cans weren’t very well educated but I guess now I have to give ‘em credit for knowing something about fluid dynamics.

NGL. Great sponsor. Any discount on motor oil right now is so greatly appreciated.

It do be like that. Honestly I really appreciate the transparency around the process. Its encouraging to see that completely batshit custom car mods are actually a genuine struggle. This is the same back and forth wish-I'd-thought-of-this-I-really-should-have-known-better prototyping I've been wrestling with on my own builds. So thanks, I feel less alone and stupid.

Fun fact, could've used c-channel, cut pipe in half, cut square tubing diagonally in half, or at least removed one face of the tubing rather than using the whole box causing the need to weld that internal seam. The pan itself would be your inner surface.

A very simple way of duplicating a mating pattern is to place a sheet of paper over the surface, highlight the edges by brushing with a pencil, and then scanning the paper and calibrating on CAD. Easier done of the whole thing fits in a4 or a3 size, but you can easily reassemble in CAD by drawing marks overlapping the sheets.

@@klausklautgern4870 You make sure you know some dimensions of the scanned image (either by scanning a ruler next to your paper, or just measuring two points on your scanned item), then your CAD package should have a function to properly scale the imported image. If it doesn't, look harder. If it really doesn't, why did they even include an image import feature? Yell at the developer. For Fusion 360, you just rightclick on the 'canvas' (what they call an imported image, perhaps they have some engineering drawings that were done in oil paint), then select 'calibrate' and you click two points with a known distance from eachother, then type in the distance.

@@klausklautgern4870I think he means scaling it, I do it using autoCAD a lot. I needed to make an oil pan baffle recently. It fit on 11x17 paper, so I first drew an 11x17 piece of paper in autoCAD and included a scale for reference in the middle (a small checkered flag with 0.25in squares) where I knew the trace wouldn’t interfere. Print the paper at 1:1 scale so the reference scale is accurate, do the trace, then scan it back into the computer. Drop the pdf image back into autoCAD and draw over the trace, including a line or two over the reference scale. Then scale and align the drawing.

This is timely as I'm considering a Vortec 4200 swap into something and the biggest hurdle is the oil pan. The one aftermarket company stopped making theirs and the stock one fits into nothing that isn't based on a Trailblazer. Thanks Matt!

Two tips for stainless, clamp a piece of aluminium to the back of anything you weld, whether its a corner joint or a flat joint and you definitely need a gas lense. I dont think that stainless is stainless anymore😢

Brings back memories of a book on the Tom Walkinshaw XJ-S V12 racing Jaguar. The class didn't allow dry sump, so they worked out something to trap oil and managed to get it working consistently in the end to win races.

5:18 Your sense of humor is on par with every other Engineer that I work with! 😂

Even though I didn't work on that pan, it infuriates me just looking at it. Not because of the way the welds look, but because of all the frustration that the whole thing undoubtedly caused. The "never speak of this again" confirmed that for me lol.

Dear Matt, there is something off about this video. See, in the title it says you are building an oil pan. So, naturally I expected to see you change the engine mounts, rear suspension or driveshaft. However, at the end you actually install a finished oil pan. What happened here?

I always enjoy the bare reality of how projects rarely go exactly to plan and alterations will need to be made to make the plan work. I build a lot of things in several hobbies and encounter this endlessly. Nice job Matt.

The Motul 8100 X-max 0W40 is a pretty good oil. Full synth, no HC-"Synth" (hydro-crack), good additive package. If you are looking for a somewhat cheaper oil, get Motul 8100 X-cess 5W40. Also full synth and a good additive package, but 25% cheaper and sufficient for most applications. I use that a lot.

I've watched a few of SuperfastMatt's vids now, they are always informative, but above all, funny!

Since I too am fluent in Sarcasm, I appreciate your videos. I think I remember that fusion360 has a sheet metal function. It flattens.

Hopefully those flappers don't become stoppers if come out of their mounts and get sucked onto the intake screen ...but it would make for another AMAZING episode. This IS the best channel on YT

I would have made the pick-up internal which would have eliminated the need for the step and the jog in the tube. It would have exited at the bottom and then up to the flange. That way the external part would only be a few inches. Simpler to build, with fewer potential failure points. Excellent content!

Solidworks a pretty badass sheet metal function. You can model lofts between round and square shapes and (for the most part) it will give you bend lines and spit out pretty good flat patterns and dxf's, it'll give you bend dims for prints too.

I know you will probably never want to weld stainless again, but if you put some aluminum angle on top of the sheet, about an inch away, it will keep the shield gas in place longer to make nicer welds. There's nothing structural about it; it just looks better. Inside corners keep the argon in place longer; that's why they came out more shiny. Hence the aluminum angle to basically make an area that keeps the shield gas close. When you put the mild steel tube on the pan, that caused me physical pain.
