B18 oil pan tapped too low???

[kingjmack]

I got this oil pan and a bunch of other turbo parts in a trade for a blown b20 motor.

My question is this, is the return line tapped too low on the oil pan? Alot of articles ive read have said to put the return line as high on the pan as possible. So is this thing junk?

Yeah, people usually tap near the top. Maybe the previous owner had the oil pan standing upside down and thought that was the highest spot lol.

It was more than likely tapped for a oil temp sensor.

do not use that as your return into the pan

lol. yeah, looks like he's trying to drain oil, not return oil.
