the oil pan itself is aluminum, and the sump well is steel. On the PW300, the alum pan is notched on the pass side - the sump well is at the front and clears the axle fine. On this T6.354, the sump well is at the rear, the oil pan clearance is fine, but he sump well is in the way. Finding a pan like on my PW300 causes a problem, it is not plumbed for the oil line to turbo, so I would not be able to use it. I will photo and you will see the two styles of pans. And there are other styles that do not have a sump well, like on a stationary engine. This engine is found in tractors, boats, streetsweepers, buses, etc, all over the world in many applications. A friend of mine from India, sent me rubber motor mounts for $2 each.
