NA+T Problems AGAIN ! Oil Return without dropping the sump ? Flame Trap ?

Hi thismachine
I have a turbo block in the garage which I have just measured for you.
I have the engine straight up on the stand so the pad looks angled on the outside but flat (vertical) on the inside.
The top measurement through the return hole is 19mm & the bottom is 35mm.

Thank you, Tim!!
 
Josh says I wouldn't be able to drill it close enough to get a press fit. Back to drill and tap because I don't want to have a fitting welded to the pan.
 
You can get fittings that bolt through a hole in the pan. Come in a variety of different angles & seal well - I've used one for a couple of years on my +T.
Or are you saying you don't want to route the oil return to the pan?

Correct, Tim. Hate reopening this Hatfield and McCoy debate of pan or block but I'd rather have the return in the block. Just a personal preference.

Thanks again everyone for the help.

Cheers!
 
Block return is the best. Literally the motor has the blank from the factory. I feel that the oil pan bung is tacky and looks hacked together.
