B. Remove the paint 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 approximately 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
approximately 1/4" deep. Pack the flutes of
the tap with heavy grease to hold chips.
Use a small magnet 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
x 1/2" inverted flare fitting and secure in
hole. Make sure a seal is formed all around
the fitting.
F. Thread the tube nut and 1/2" x 90°
aluminum tube into the inverted flare fitting
by hand. (See Figs. 2-b, 2-c.) Do not
tighten until after the supercharger drain
hose has been connected.
G. Drain the engine oil and change the filter.
H. Temporarily cap off the oil drain fitting to
keep out debris until drain hose is attached
at a later time.
I. Refill engine with 5W/30 synthetic or
conventional SH/CF rated motor oil.
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.
