question about tapping my oil pan
For those of you who have tapped your oil pan, did you have to use a right angle drill? It doesnt seem like there is enough space in there to get a normal drill in there.

I don't think you can drill unless you are taking the pan off.

If you are punching/tapping, as soon as you're finished tapping they tell you to drain the oil. I would put your drain plug back in and fill up with fresh oil (not synthetic or anything expensive). Drain the fresh oil and go over it with a magnet. Keep doing this until no metal traces are in the oil. This way you know all the metal gets flushed out. Might be a PITA but I think it is better than having shards of metal going through your motor.
