Someone want to do it or where should I take it? P&J and Kennedy’s wont do it unless they install the blower, Hybrid doesnt want to do it, and I really dont want to take the chance doing it myself. Help me out NYSpeeders ps: car is a 91 mustang 5.0 stock pan ---

When we (BDR5OH and I) tapped my pan, I had my timing chain cover off so if there was any shavings in the pan i got them all out with a magnet. I’ts alot easier to do with the car in the air. If you don’t wanna take the timing cover off put vaseline on the tap and that should keep the shavings outta the pan, then Immediately do an oil change. It’s really not that hard, I would help but I’m really busy until some time next week, so if You haven’t found anybody till then PM me. ---

im way more of a fan of bulkhead fittings pull pan, drill hole, install fitting, reinstall pan its never a bad idea to pull the pan, gaskets are almost always cheap and it gives you a chance to wash all the OTHER shit out of the pan, in the process, clear the oil pickup screen and such ---
