OIL DRAIN

3. OIL DRAIN

To provide an oil drain for the supercharger,
it is necessary to make a hole in the oil pan.

The hole should be located per Fig. 3-a on
the passenger side of the oil pan. Use the
supplied 9/16" rota-broach to drill the hole.

Tap the hole with a 3/8" NPT tap until the
oil drain fitting can be started.

Thoroughly clean the threaded area and the
inside of the oil pan. Apply a small amount
of sealer to the new threads. Apply more
sealer to the supplied 3/8" NPT x 1/2" 90º
hose barb fitting and secure in hole. Make
sure seal is formed all around the fitting.

*** NOTE ***

Clean and inspect the oil pan gasket. If it is in good

condition it can be used again.

Re-install the oil pan per the factory shop
manual. Torque the fasteners to 95 in-lbs
(11 N-m). Use a small amount ot blue thread
locker on the four screws in front of the fly-
wheel.

Install a new oil filter and refill the engine
with fresh oil.
