A magazine did an article on knock-parts and the real thing awhile back. The Knock-off was very porous and in time allowed oil to seep through it's construction. I would spend the money on something that will be holding the life force of your motor, not take the cheap route.

If you dont have money for the real greddy oil pan then you dont have money for a new engine... just stick with the stock oil pan..... trust me!!

if it has anything to do with your oil system then do not go the cheap route.

Ive went through 2 knock off greddy oil pans and both of them leaked oil.

Ive finally paid for the real greddy and its been problem free every since.

Do it right the first time and do not worry about it later.

Only thing i'll get on ebay is a strut tower perhaps. No BOV's or oil pans. Not an engine component
