Oil Dump on My Y8...
 

I need to know what size the dump fitting is in Stevemodes' kits. Plus I have a problem since my pan is aluminum. I need suggestions on what exactly to do and what size fitting the dump is that I MAY be able to get a thread tap. We need the drill bit and tap and it's going to be rape to buy since we don't have it. So any other suggestions? Thanks alot fellas!

It may be hard to find, but i believe i got my from a Mike's hardware.

Bit = 23/32"
Tap = 1/2"-14NPT Pipe Tap

Be prepared to shell out some dough cuz this sh*t ain't cheap. I think I spent $50 for the pair...

Does a steel y7 pan fit on my y8? If so could I just buy that, drill it and braze the fitting on instead?

y7 pan fits, but you need to remove your flywheel dust cover....at least i had to.

to use a y7 pan u need the pick up also
wtf is wrong with using jb weld ::)

Re: Oil Dump on My Y8...
 

Unless I used it wrong, it leaks. I would never use JB Weld as the Primary substance to hold the fitting in place. I threaded my fitting and use JB Weld as a back-up.

Sooooo.......1/2 inch dump fitting. 1/2 drill bit. Drill it and just screw it in?

the y7 pan is very thin, so if you don't do it perfect you may not be able to thread it. I was able to thread mine, screw in with teflon tape, and use jbweld to make sure everything was all good.
