A.
To provide an oil drain for the supercharger, it
is necessary to make a hole in the oil pan.
Locate and mark hole per diagram. It is best
to punch the hole rather than drill.
B.
Remove paint from around the hole area.
C.
Use a small center punch to perforate the pan
and expand hole. Switch to a larger diameter
punch and expand the hole further to approxi-
mately 9/16" diameter. Most punches are
made from hexagon material and may be
placed in a socket with an extension to make
this procedure easier.
D.
Tap the hole with a 3/8"NPT tap approximate-
ly 1/4" deep. Pack the flutes of the tap with
heavy grease to hold chips. Use a small mag-
net to check for any stray chips.
E.
Thoroughly clean the threaded area. Apply a
small amount of silicone sealer to the new
threads. Apply more sealer to the 3/8"NPT
hose fitting and secure in the hole. Make sure
a seal is formed all around the fitting.
F.
Drain the engine oil and change the filter.
*** NOTE ***
This method of rolling over the lip of the hole and
tapping it works very well if carefully done and
should cause no problems.
