Hi Stan,

Are you sure it's cast iron and not cast steel?

Take a grinder and cut a grove in a piece of regular mild steel angle/plate then cut a small area in the pan (easy to weld area) then compare the grain structure and the spark color. They will look close to the same if it's cast steel.

I've never seen a Perkins oil pan, so before I can suggest anything, give me an idea of how thick the material is and how large of a hole?

If a large hole then do you have the piece that came out?

Since the oil pan has no pressure it should be an easy repair.
