1.get the engine up to temp. (so all the oil will pass through the filter, not the bypass in it)
2.drill the hole slowly with grease on drill bit
3.tap the hole with grease
4.crank over engine with open hole so il will squirt out
5.put pipe plug in with some loctite 565, 545 or some teflon tape
6.run engine for 5 min
7.change oil
8.and your on your way

Just use grease, this isn't open heart surgery.

That's tough talk for a Pinto owner.

Haha, thats ******* great . Actually, theres a guy down the road from me with a pimped out Pinto with some huge Mustang engine and driveline and huge drag slicks and stuff. Its pretty tight. Its been sitting in his yard for like 8 years not doing anything though.
