I know the Greddy oil pan has more clearence around the oil sump area (the large circle indented in the middle of the pan). And i havnt seen any of the ebay ones with it.

Only get an ebay if you like 1/4 gaps in the fitment with the lower block. My room mate has one and had to use quite a bit of black silicone sealer as a gasket. They are pretty much junk. You'll laugh when you see how much the gasket surface is bowed. Plus we had to grind it......and it leaks.

For the record, my ebay oil pan has been on the car (and off the car, and back on, etc) for three years with NO issues in fitment, leaks, or other defects. Been on for street driving and track events as well.

I freely admit however that this could be an exception, that I was lucky, whatever.

There is already a thread regarding this. Which had side by side pics and a decent amount of information...
