So I asked my mech to install an oil press. gauge and he did. I noticed it was tapped into the block and I asked him about the debris from the drilling if it would cause any scoring or anything. He said they grease the drill bit so the debris sticks to it or something and they use a magnet too. It sounds weird to me, is this accurate????

ive heared of people doing it with intercooler piping etc.
being a fitter and machinist by trade im not a fan of it, sure you can grease the tap and the drill bit, but is it worth risking ruining your engine??? i think not. -------------------- ST205 Group A Rallye GT-Four, #61 of 77............600hp GT3582r
