So I was driving today and hit a rock. I couldn't dodge it becasue I want on the highway and couldn't switch lanes. Anyways, I brought it to Lute Riley Honda and they said it would cost 525 bucks to replace it. I know there has to be a way just to weld it up or something. If anyone from around the dallas area is willing to help me out, please give me a holler. I am willing to pay for your labor to get it off, weld it, replace it, whatever I have to do! PLEASE HELP!!!

 

A oil pan is $182 here

You should be able to take it pretty much anywhere and have them change it for less than $100 labor.

 

Is there anyway I can just take the pan off and go get it welded somewhere?

 

I don't know about the S2k pan specifically, but it is probably too thin to be easily weldable. You're probably stuck buying a new one (or getting one off a wrecked S2000... that might save a ton).

The biggest question is:::: How hard is it to remove an S2000 oil pan? On my Nissan you have to remove the transmission and a bunch of other stuff to get to it. It may be no big deal - or it may be major surgery.

 

What is a good shop around the garland area to take it to?

 

if you're trying to be cheap just jb weld it yourself.

 

I'm sorry for this, but what is "jb" and can it be welded?

 

Looking at the manual it's held in place with 21 bolts which are accessible from underneath the car. Looks like a 1 hour job and an oil change to me. I should note that the manual suggests tightening the bolts in a certain sequence to prevent warping. You'll also want to use liquid gasket on the mating surfaces. I'd spend the money and buy a new pan and replace it myself.

 

Wow. Getting a response from Clovis himself. If I buy the oil pan, is there anyway I might get your assistance in putting it on. Of course I will pay you for your labor and time.

 

Sent you a PM.
