Engine Splash Pan Installation Documentation?
My new-to-me Model A didn't come with engine splash pans and I am looking to correct that to help with cooling.
So far I haven't been able to find any documentation on exactly how they're installed. I believe I felt the holes on the outer side of the frame, but am unsure where exactly the two notches on what I believe to be the engine side are connected to. Any resources I could be pointed to would help. |

Re: Engine Splash Pan Installation Documentation?
There are three holes on the frame,the two holes on the other side are held in place with the sump bolts.

Re: Engine Splash Pan Installation Documentation?
I appreciate the link, though that thread is more about the benefits of having them installed versus the actual installation.

Feels like I'd have to seriously bend the entire splash pan as the sump bolts are about an inch higher than the bottom of the frame. And, of course, it looks like not all of the holes line up. *sigh* Why is nothing easy? |

I tap the holes 5/16-18 in the frame to facilitate installation. Last edited by Ruth; 07-04-2019 at 04:11 PM. |

Re: Engine Splash Pan Installation Documentation?
I just reinstalled mine and like was said there are three holes on the frame (you will need another pair of hands) and two slots for the oil pan bolts. The only thing I will do the next time is maybe put a rubber spacer under the pan bolts to help with vibration as apparently the pans crack due to it. At least that is what I have heard and the really thin metal makes me believe it.

Re: Engine Splash Pan Installation Documentation?
I installed some 'washers' to spread out the contact area of the bolts to the sheet metal.

Re: Engine Splash Pan Installation Documentation?
I like Ruth's idea of tapping the frame. Otherwise you need about three hands to install.

Re: Engine Splash Pan Installation Documentation?
They are easy to put on by yourself. Just take the front fenders off first. .........lol
