The pan holds an extra 1.5 qrts.... That could easily be right around the pickup head. That's EXACTLY what the internal baffles and trap doors are supposed to do.
I wonder if anybody reading your post will take up the cause to bash Mishimto. They must be a terrible company to have caused this problem.
But, I'm glad he's not having any problems with the pan.

True..I guess it's just luck then.

He said he had a quart extra, however, none of that matters if it's not making it to the bearings.
As for Mishimoto, do we have any details? Was it a fault with the product, or installation? I've seen the Mishimoto kit and it is worlds better quality than the pan in question.
As for the motor that didn't blow... I hope you guys are pulling it to check the main and rod bearings. I had a friend recently blow out an oil cooler line on his BMW track car. Motor did not blow, but due to one of their cars doing the same last year, and then spinning a bearing several track events later, he's got the motor out to replace the bearings.

Info for those looking to buy a newly produced Canton pan
So, in my discussions with Canton, it appears that the issues that some of us have had with the initial pan production run have been pretty much solved. I've kept them informed of all the problems that individuals who have installed the pans have mentioned on the forum.
Canton has sold about 3 times as many pans now as what was in our initial production run. This makes it their most successful new product launch ever. Initially because of the great guys on the S2ki forum, but now continuing to be their best selling import pan (that's what I meant in an earlier post about it being a "A" pan).
The pans are leak tested before and after plating. The two of us (me included) that had a broken clip was caused by a change in the metal the clip manufacturer did, which caused it to become brittle during the plating process. That issue has been resolved as well. Apparently, pans produced after market for applications that don't use gaskets (like ours), and are not cast metal (like Canton, unlike OEM), usually have more sealing issues than OEM, but it appears a good fix for that issue for all of us is to tighten the bolts from the inside (or center) of the pan towards the outside, rather than the usual criss cross star pattern.
They have not received any other type of complaints as far as I know.
Hope this is helpful information for those potential future purchasers, and for those who have problems with their pans now, I continue to encourage you to contact the manufacture. Although I've kept them informed of issues, an issue with your pan can't be resolved by them unless you contact them.
(May I request that the posters who have trollish type characteristics don't start bashing or repeating the same complaints over and over in response to this post. It's just information I'm giving out.)

Can you expand on what corrective action was taken on each of the defects identified in this thread? There was a mix of both quality and design issues.
