Title says it all. I would like to get a 2.2 CB pan on the car before SDAC so I can take sweeping turns without worry. There's a 2.5 pan on there now with no balance shafts. I would like to avoid catastrophe if possible.

If you can't find one, some sheet metal sheers and a welder and you could make some nice baffles in a day.

I hear this Gary fella recently came into a bunch of parts. Maybe he can help.

What is the pan length vs a non CB pan? If someone can get me the way to tell the difference, I will look at the oil pans I have and see.

Good luck Cordes
I looked for about 6 months before I found mine.
We need to start a thread/(T-Mopar store, if you will), of near-unobtanium parts that peeps need to look for when shopping at the j-yards

I'll see if I can get a picture for you.

Thanks. I know they're hard to find. You really can't get them anywhere.

There were a few on Flea bay when I was looking, a little pricey but appeared to be NOS

what's the difference between the pans? 2.2 shallower pan?

Yes. The balance shaft pan without balance shafts doesn't control oil very well and can lead to starvation on long sweeping turns from all I've read. I think I'm well into the territory of being able to slosh the oil around so I don't want to autocross etc. with the BS pan on there.

There is no such thing as 2.2L oil pan or 2.5L oil pan.


For FWD common block cars,

There is an oil pan for NON balance shaft common block engine.

This pan is found in 89 2.2L TII, 89+ 2.2 N/A, 89 2.2L TIV

There is an oil pan for common block engine WITH balance shaft .

This pan is found in 89 TI 2.5L, 89+ 2.5 N/A. 90 2.2L TIV, 91+ 2.2L TIII

Both oil pan also uses their own unique oil pick up tube, about $20 at autozone, last time I bought one.

Thanks for the clarification. I always forget that the put balance shafts in a small number of 2.2 cars.

The CB pan is flat across the back of the bolt rail instead of being scalloped around each bolt hole and has the half round front seal.

Brian I have one that looks like the top picture Harry posted, but I need to verify it is a non-cb or cb pan. Figures it is not the one here at the house and the one in storage. I'll go check tomorrow.:thumb:

Incorrectly listed as 1988 and older but sure looks like 1989 (common block) and newer.

Thanks

I know we talked about it, but I have the balance shaft pan with baffles in it. Holds about 7 quarts I think? Worth doing if you can have the car down for any length of time.

I would think that would be the way to go. The more oil the better...

I just changed my oil with a balance shaft pan and it was about 6 quarts.

Haha after 5 I sorta guess and then just check the dip stick. That's probably right closer to accurate. Slowe made it for me and I don't remember what he told me the quart amount was, but I knew it was over 5.

Thanks guys. I forgot about this thread. I actually have a 2.2 non balance shaft pan now thanks to Mike M. Further more, the pan that was in the car already has a sweet trap door setup in it. Unfortunately I'll need to remove the trans to get it back on. Good times.

And of course I forgot this info you told me at SDAC. :-p
