Is the oil pan different for a bus engine than a truck engine? ie: 6V92 going in an eagle. | ||

Possibly but if it will fit and doesn't rub against anything I can't see why you would care. | ||

Bob - Coach oil pans are usually a little shallower than a truck's. Truck engines sit up higher between the chassis rails, compared to a coach. If you use a truck pan, just be aware of the lower ground clearance - especially entering driveways, etc. FWIW & HTH. . .  | ||

If it is a V-drive, doesn't the engine sit at an angle? And if so, won't the oil pan conform to this angle, including the oil pickup? Only asking questions, I do not know for sure. JJ | ||

Bob; I had pulled a truck engine and it had a front sump which was bad for a (t) drive bus. The pan was also plastic! For a nonimal fee DD sold me a cast Aluminum rear sump pan for my S-60 to install in a bus. Ray | ||

Iam using a truck pan on my 8v92 in a mc8. It does not hang that low, I have thought about adding a skid shield, it would have to be heavy, at this point only a thought. | ||

Thanks for all the replys. I thought the pan for a bus might be a little shallower. I'll have to look for one when I get the engine back home in a couple of weeks. It will be a good time to put new bearings in it if needed. Hey Tom, my father used to live in Ketchikan. It rained everytime I went up there to visit. | ||

Bobh, that's what it usually does around here, alright. For some reason, we lost our rains this fall. I noticed that there were floods both north and south of us, instead. Do you suppose they went there? Tom Caffrey PD4106-2576 Suncatcher Ketchikan, Alaska |
