Verdad Gallardo Theres a lot of shavings that go into the pan when you drill and tap a hole. I imagine you dont have to... but its your motor 
I had most of my motor off for the turbo install, so my pan came off easy. I also didnt have the tranny in.

Yep. No oil pan drain. Straight into the timing cover. We had to trim the inside of the fitting. Absoultly no problems.

No fittings to the oil pan. Drains directly into the timing cover.
