Re: Need oil pan tapped.
punch a hole in the pan..throw a flange on it. and RTV the bitch...... no but seriously.....when i did mine...all i did was drill a whole in the pan one size smaller than my fitting..then i ran a tap through it, screwed the fitting in, and put RTV(sealer) around the outside of the fitting where it enters the oil pan..(no leaks) Mine worked great....never had one problem.

Re: Need oil pan tapped.
if it was steel i could understand why you couldn't tap it yourself... why not aluminum? It's softer so it seems it would be easier.

Re: Need oil pan tapped.
whatever you do...do not drill the pan with it on the car still unless you want metal shavings in your oil...punch the hole with a air hammer and a specialized bit then tap it,put the fitting in it and rtv the sucker.that's how i have done the dozen or so cars i have done.as for being straight,and lined up...it's only gravity fed return style line...get it close and it will be fine.
