Tapping the Block for a coolant feed
Well, after careful examination of my spare kia block, i can up with feasible area's to safely tap the block on the front for coolant feed(s)
Feed to the turbo is amazing. Clean & well positioned i have zero complaints about its placement.
Upper green circle is where i tapped feed.
middle right green circle is also tappable for a coolant feed. Having a pilot hole with threads in this location makes drilling it to the proper size a little easier. (this location is deeper but will feed the same)
the Red circle is a feasible location for an oil drain, if you would rather tap the block then the oil pan---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---

jack, the block nipple won't be a permanent straight piece. i have a chrome angled tube feed to replace it & further clean it up. It fits well without kinking i wouldn't be worried to run it, especially under a small amount of pressure.
either way, i'll update after i touch up the block with paint/install the new fitting.
next week will have more progress---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---

Removed the oil pan & drilled it out for its Oil return pipe(welded in AL tube)
Also gave the pan a bling bling factor
Assembled the other rear strut/cusco upper pillow ball mount
and started tackling the front struts @ the same time
I noted the BJ front struts have a decent sized gap @ the top with the lowering springs which i don't recall was there @ all with the BG struts
Also noted the BJ struts have a lower spring perch compared to the BG---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---
