Re: bad idea or terrible idea?

the engine was rebuilt, and then was used in my brother's laser which put down an estimated 350 whp (not bragging, just it was pushing some serious HP)

he was constantly plagued by oil leaking over everything, we tried every trick in the book to stop the oil seeping out of the top end, to no avail.

My brother decided to quit while he was ahead, parted his car, and bought a 2g. I grabbed his motor.

So, all I am doing is applying a feature common on other turbocharded cars.

I drilled the hold in a non-structeral location on the side of the block, I didnt drill through any major "webbing" in the casting.
