Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / September 2006R2 Lark oil pan
Recently bought a R2 Lark . Oil pan is beat to heck. Does anyone know where I can purchase another one? One odd factor about this oil pan is that connected to the dip stick line is a larger open line. Is this supposed to have a cap on top of it? Looks like a cooling line or breather line for the oil pan. Please advise your thoughts any help is appreciated. Thx. > Recently bought a R2 Lark . Oil pan is beat to heck.

It should be connected to the hose fitting on the air cleaner. Unfortunately this is a fairly rare pan, so they can be hard to find (I have braze all over the bottom of mine; unfortunately found another pinhole today) so if yours is fixable I would suggest doing that. Alternately, if you can find a good, standard V-8 pan of the same shape, you can move over the windage tray and cut the hole for the vent tube, although this will require a good friend with a spot welder. good luck, nate If possible, pound it out as close to original as you can get and work body filler to smooth it out. This will work fine, trust me. > > Recently bought a R2 Lark . Oil pan is beat to heck. Does anyone know > > where I can purchase another one?

The pan on my truck has a skim coating on the inside and still is not leaking after nearly ten years.
