pulled the pan today,cleaned it out but the gasket is still on. The plan is to weld in two bungs, one will be an oil return fitting for the second turbo and the other fitting will be for the oil temp sender - the bung that came with the pan I will not use at this time but may in the future if I ever go for a pre-oiler.
One of the cleanest pans I have ever seen - absolutely no indication of wear. I did find some amber bits that may be cooked oil, one nylon white washer AND!!!!! a little rock.

How that ever got in there is any ones guess,
Engine had 44,000 miles on it when I got it, I say it came with the rock as well.

Weird.
