OIL DRAIN ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
A. To provide an oil drain for the supercharger, it
is necessary to make a hole in the oil pan It is
best to punch the hole rather than to drill it.
B. Remove paint from around the hole area.
C. Mark the oil pan 5/8" down from the oil pan
mounting rail on the driver’s side of the engine.
Measure forward 3/4" from the first bolt on the
side of the oil pan. (See Fig. 3-a.)
D. Use a small center punch to perforate the pan
and expand the hole. Switch to a larger diame-
ter punch and expand the hole further to
approximately Ø9/16". Most punches are made
from hexagon material and may be placed in a
socket with an extension to make this procedure
easier.
E. 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.
*** 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.

F. Thoroughly clean the threaded area. Apply a
small amount of silicone sealer or teflon paste
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 fit-
ting. (See Fig. 3-b.)
G. Drain the engine oil and change the filter.
