2. OIL DRAIN LINE INSTALLATION (Engine oil-fed kits only. Applications

with V-3 superchargers skip ahead to step 4.)

A. To provide an oil drain for the supercharger, it

is necessary to make a hole in the front of

the timing cover. Locate and center punch the

hole on the flat area on the driver’s side front

of the timing cover about, 1-1/2" above the oil

pan sealing surface.

B. Drill 1/8" pilot hole at the marked location.

C. Use the supplied 9/16" roto broach to drill a

hole. Break through carefully so that the cut

out piece does not go into the engine.

D. Tap the hole with a 3/8"NPT to approximately

1/2" deep or until the fitting can be started.

Pack the flutes of the tap with heavy grease

to hold any loose chips.

E. Thoroughly clean the threaded area. Reach

inside the timing cover and retrieve any stray

chips. Apply a small amount of silicone sealer

to the 3/8"NPT nipple and secure in a hole.

F. Drain the engine oil, install a new filter and

refill with fresh engine oil.
