Yes i plan to scuff the paint off down to bare metal and clean very well with gasoline or carb cleaner. I'm hesitant to use anything on the inside of the oil pan, in the event a piece doesn't adhere well and flakes off. Same reason I really don't want to run a sheet metal screw with rubber washer up into the oil pan, in case a metal shaving gets into the oil.
Does anyone produce a reproduction oil pan?
