It should just be drilled out and tapped, then thread in the oil fitting.

That what I would've done. Seems a little easier.

wow thats nice! i jus tdrilled and tapped mine, but yours looks like it will work perfectly!!!!

Nice job. I like the way you are going to be able to mount like a stock turbo drain. I never would have thought to do it that way.

My cover doesn't have metal formed the way yours does, was that welded on or something?

to tell you the truth thats what i thought the machine shop was going to do. i went down there with both front covers and told them that the hole needed to be drilled out and fitted for an oil return line. i only brought the other one because it was in my car.

so i guess the guy thought i wanted it to replicate the other front cover and thats what he did. i like it this way.

yes it was welded on. that front cover looked just as yours dose,the guy added metal, and added the screw holes, then just drilled out the center main hole.

thats what I call good service. Some shops wont even do that. Did you tip the guy at least?

mwatson184

So what did they charge you? Looks great.

81Rex6port13b

it would be considered a lot compaired to just taping and threading, it was $50

Damn you got a great deal if you got all that for $50.00!!!

I had to have a motor shaft key way re cut and it was $75.00

Man that is dirt cheep

Is the stock t2 oil return line threaded into the front cover? I have a gslse front cover, all I have to do is drill out the hole and tap it, then screw in the oil return line from the t2 correct? I can post a pic of the gslse front cover if anyone is interested.

81Rex6port13b

no its not threaded. it has a flange the uses 2 12mm screws that hold it on with a small gasket. see the big hole and the 2 smaller holes above and below it? those are the screwholes that hold the flange on.

if you were to drill and tap the big hole you would have to make a new oil return line as well to fit that hole.
