Why not drill in the same spot on the PTO side? You can get at it with the motor in? Is there any issues with this ?
I answered my own question this weekend while installing the delete kit on my TM8. the reason I chose to do this mod was not because I think the engines are starved for oil in a turbo application, but due to there being no room for changing reeds and doing any other matenence related to having a turbo. as for the install it went "fairly" smooth after I got the oil tank out. here are some things to look out for if you decide to do this:
1.) The bolts that hold the oil tank to the frame are locktited to the nuts that are injection molded to the tank itself. With mine the nuts striped in the plastic on the first turn, so I ended up having to use a cutting wheel on the die grinder and cut the heads off the bolts (not a good way to start.)
2.) you do
not have to take the Y pipe off as per the instructions. there is lots of room once the air box and t-bodies are removed.
3.) the instructions tell you to connect the oil injecton holes in the reed boots with a peice of the existing hose, I never had a peice that was long enough to do this, lucky for me my brother had some clippard line around that was the right size.
4. The vacume packing that the bdx kit came in basically
ruined the instructions, not that it is too hard to figure out, but sometimes a reference is nice. there was also one step in the instuctions that made no sense.???
5.) you can drill and tap the case while it is in the sled, you just drill in the exact spot on the PTO side of the case. drill slow and grease the drill bit, and the case is a bit thicker than .75, but you will know when you are through becase some gas / oil mix will come out. Then you can clean up the hole and run the tap in.
6.) we used the shop vac after drilling and a couple times while tapping the hole just to make sure the inside of the case was kept clean.
7.) make sure you install the oneway valve right and you are all set.
after doing this once I would not hesitate to do another, as long as thhe tank came out a bit better.
