Harbor freight has an NPT pipe tap set.

Or Ace Hardware...I would go to ace, it will be a much better tap.

I bought mine and the correct bit for the tap from Amazon. Only took a few days to recieve it. only problem i had was my drill wasnt big enough for the bit. had to use my buddies drill press. My drain is in my timing cover.

Fastenal, Grainger, MSC, . Careful with the cheap harbor freight ones or the local hardware stores chinese knock offs, you'll tap 2 holes and they will be dull.

Incorrect. For what it's worth my $9 NPT 6 piece tap and die set from HF (Even came with a nice wooden storage box) has tapped approx 100 different pans/water pumps and turbo piping with no failures whatsoever.

Ridgid makes one Ive tried a few of the cheaper ones and they suck.

Well that sums up that debate whether or not the cheap ones suck. They may be worse if your using them in steel but aluminum is so soft I don't see it dulling a metal tap too quickly.

FYI: My local Napa stocks them(I have bought 2)
The Balkamp manf# p# is "T-304" 1/2" - 14 NPT (on box)
On website it is "BK t304" Napa online price is $17.34
The hard part for me was getting the proper drill size which is 45/64"

Good Luck

I had to buy this item, I found it online, I just forget where, it has been 3-4 years.

I have the 45/64 drill bit but a 23/32" will work too.

I got a 45/64th from my local snap on truck that comes to the garage I work at. Thanks for the offers though!
