53891, drilling oil pan 4 drain line-drilling hole at manifold for egt probe
Posted by jsupetran, Aug-12-03 06:52 AM
my dad has one of those electric drills that i;ve seem him use to drill holes through wood. its a craftsman-type drill, it has a spiral like groove on the sides. will this work?

if not, what can i use; what brand; where can i borrow this (store-wise)?

also, do you all think those craftsman drill will work for drilling through the turbo manifold (if not then recommendations) and should i drill at a right angle (90* degrees) or slightly diagonnal angle)

thanks

You'll need a small hole saw (can't remember the size - 1"?) for the oil pan hole, and any bit that's spec'd for drilling metal should be fine for the manifold. Try and make it as straight as possible.
