oil pan tapped to low, How bad?

[rsxero]

Now, I realize I tapped to low. I tapped a centemetre below the oil line. but doesn't the oil level drop when the car is running? How bad is it really?

I would weld it up and tap higher. You dont want to have the oil back up and blow out your turbo seals.

I have a B6T oil pan with the oil drain plug for $30+ shipping

Im pretty sure the b6t pan and the mx3 dohc pan are different.

they are, IIRC its something to due with the baffeling inside the pan, though the bolt pattern is the same i think.

^ yeap B6T no baffle, B6DE baffle. Same bolt pattern

also the b6t pan is deeper and the MX3 pan is more shallow due to using an intermediate pan.
