How do you tap an oil pan for -10 AN fitting?
How do you tap an oil pan for -10 AN fitting? Well I bought a fancy new black anodized -10AN fitting with O-ring to use for my oil return line. This may sound stupid, but where the hell can you find a tap that big?
I was trying to avoid having to take it to a tig welder...but I guess its the best way to do it. Is there a particular fitting you recommend using? You would think there would be a way to tap for an since the one end has an o-ring.
The O-ringed Straight Cut fittings are generally used on Fuel pressure regulators and water pumps
i just did my oil pan go to a hardware store and ask them for a 3/8 NTP which is a pipe tap.
use thread sealant it will be fine there just oil returns no real pressure on them.

well .. on some of the NA supra setups, we used to use a holesaw, then tap it out with a 1/2 inch thread, followed by cleaning and JB weld, with the tapping makes it pretty strong.
however, now a days we just weld =)
