looking to finally finish my project and need a little feedback from others. decided to tap my front cover instead of the pan for my oil return. i just want to know if this is an ok place to tap. my thoughts are its flat, its right over a down slope in the pan,and it wont mess with anything. (sorry for the picture its from my cell phone. digi is dead)

 

thats where it is stock...

cant see your pic.

 

yea its a **** pic because of my phone. the stock actually comes of the sid of the cover by the omp. if you look an a front cover this is the slope part on the lower left under the omp and stock oil return locations.

anyone else have any opinions before i drill?

 

thats where i am putting mine on a fb 12a motor. Thats what is highly recomended. i am just trying to source oil flanges for the turbo now. What have you found?

 

pmd ya on that info. i figured it would be a good open spot

 

yes, thats a common place to put the return line

 

That's fine.
