Just finished doing this with an A15 sump.
To check for leaks you can also cover the external welds with a light coat of plaster of paris, then fill the sump with diesel, any leaks will show up as discolouration of the plaster.

Cheers

The sump is bolted to an engine, before being welded back up. So warping is not a problem if careful welding is done.

 Re: Z24 Oil Pan Sump
That is right. I pieced it together screwed to the board. Welded it, then had to cut it again from side to side. Bolted it to the block and weld it back up. I used a light in total darkness to patch up the pin holes. A lot a welding!
