PUNCH

Fig. 4.2-a
B. On the front of the pan, measure and mark
the center between the two oil pan retaining
bolts. Find the centerpoint between the pan
rail. Coat a 3/16" drill bit with grease and
drill the hole.
C. Coat the supplied punch with anti-seize or
heavy grease and drive it in only halfway
using an air chisel with a blunt tip. Do not
use a hammer. Do not go in all the way or
you will damage internal engine compo-
nents.
D. Cut off the front portion of the hardened
steel punch with either a grinder or a cut-off
wheel. Continue driving the punch in, stop-
ping 9/16" before the punch makes contact
with the flat portion of the punch. Go slow
with this. It will affect your tapped hole if
you go too far. (See Fig. 4.1-b.)
E. Tap the hole using a greased 3/8"NPT tap.
Go slowly and make sure the tap goes in
straight. Stop periodically to clean and re-
grease the tap.
F. Run the tap in only 2/3 of the way and
check to see that the fitting will screw in
leaving at least three threads exposed.
G. Clean threads thoroughly and coat the fitting
with teflon sealant and install.
C. Using teflon sealant, install the straight fit-
ting into the remaining port and attach one
end of the oil line using a 9/16" wrench.
Route the oil line up and across the top of
the engine toward the supercharger.
