didnt we already go over this a month back. there isnt enough meat to tap in the civic pans… safely. I assume you need a 3/4 NPT thread of an oil return? If so I might have the correct size weld bung on my shelf, and can TIG it on the pan, just about anywhere you need it. PM me if you are interested. OR, I have a bunch of 1/4" thick round punch slugs of aluminum I use to weld on catch cans and what not, so when you drill and tap, you have 1/4" + what ever thickness material you welded it to to get plenty of threads cut in to hold very well. I also have the 3/4 NPT tap set, so what ever you decide to do, I can do it for ya. so PM me. Both solutions are the best. ---

I have seen numerous fittings jb welded in without problems. But welding a bung in would be a more correct way of doing it. ---

krazy i am not questioning what you are saying but i have had a tapped pan for 6 years with no problem other than location. or it can be welded i just dont have an insane amount of time. I dont need an npt fitting it just has to have a thread on one end and a barb fitting on the other. I dont have the ability to drive it too far due to the oil problem. ---

i need a d but it has to be in the correct location. the one i have now makes the return sit on the down pipe and every 2 years it burns a hole in the oil line. i have tried everything else. ---
