Does anyone know who/where near central CA someone to straighten an oil pan?

Katzorke Machine Reno, NV

I agree!! Erick can do that and LOTS more.

I've traded emails with Erik but he is 6 hours away, Katzorke is even further. Erik thought there was someone in S. CA who could do the straightening ergo the posting. However, I do thank those who took the time to respond as it is greatly appreciated.
After 25 years of running my T a lot, I'm having new Babbitt poured and a new crankshaft installed. Knowing I have hit lots of pot holes in the road, pan straightening is on my list of things to do. Now it is just looking to find someone reasonably close.

Chaffins has a jig.

I have a state of the art Pan Straightening Frame that has attachments to push and pull all things into alignment with minimal beating. The ears come out perfect. I can take care of customers in the North West. Ken Buhler in Kelowna B.C. Call two-5-zero-7 six two 2 six 1 zero.

Well I am 69!!
A very good number!

6 hours is not far. Load up the car and take a road trip. Make a day of it and enjoy the sights along the way. Sometimes it is good to get away from home for a day and meet new people, see his shop and how the job is done. You might even have fun…

What Jim said.
I treasure my visits to Mike Bender's shop in Tulsa, participating in work days and other opportunities to see how more experienced folks approach their work.

Howdy Steve and welcome back!
