Tapping Oil Pan

Re: Tapping Oil Pan
well when you put the turbo on mark your pan where the drian line is at a good downward slope( below the turbo), becuase if you just put it in that spot it could be too high and the oil will have a hard time getting back in the pan

The fitting that's in the pan already looks good. Don't drill another one before you mount the turbo and see where everything is going to work best.
If you're unsure of the oil level, fill it with 3 quarts of gasoline and mark the level. (gasoline cleans everything really well as well)

Re: Tapping Oil Pan
a general safety guideline is to look at the metal plate inside the oil pan, if you drill it above that then you won't have any problems for sure. you're taking a risk drilling it below that, not saying it won't work but it will be closer to the actual oil level. when i did mine i used a 1/2" fitting, i drilled and tapped it with a 3/8" NPT thread, it fit perfectly, i honestly would feel really safe just using that with locktite on the threads but i jb welded it on the outside just to be extra-safe.
