tap the pan and use a nut on the inside with some washers and gasket material?

what if i were to drill the hole just big enough so you can kind of screw the fitting in, and just put like sealant around it, like JB cold weld on both sides, along with a nut and washer??

I'm not really familar with turbo oil return lines. Why can't you weld on a steel fitting of the proper diameter and thread pitch? You could install your lines into the fitting that's been welded to the pan. Yellow94GT |
