Someone with oil pan jig in Grand Rapids MI area or can I do it myself

Post by bmklawt » Thu Oct 14, 2021 3:15 pm

It looks like oil pan on my 1927 Touring had some welding done on the frame mounting ear and it's leaking oil in that area, anyway I bought two oil pans at an auction and would like to fine someone reasonable close to the Grand Rapids MI area with a jig that could check the pans for me and possible straighten one of them if need be.
Is this something I could do myself using the block and hogs head as a jig?

I haven't tried it, but I've heard of using a 26-27 block and hogshead (they bolt together).
The inevitable often happens.
