B11 07 18_Procedure
June 2018
Always wear the proper protective clothing as per
local and state laws.
Recommendations:
•
Face shield
•
Nitrile rubber gloves
•
Shop coat or equivalent
Important:
•
Cleanliness of the tools and the surrounding work surfaces are very important.
•
The tools are made of high quality materials but they need to be cleaned periodically during this
procedure and lubricated at all times.
•
The boring tool and the thread forming tap are lubricated by the engine oil exiting the engine while under
pressure. Some additional lubricant may be required.
•
The re-facing tool requires lubrication, use spray lubricant or equivalent.
•
This tool can only repair the threads in aluminum engine oil pans.
2
B11 07 18_Procedure
June 2018
•
Do not attempt to use the tool in a steel engine oil pan or any type of steel material or a steel threaded
insert.
•
Always use these tools in the forward or clockwise drill rotation, never turn the tools in the reverse or
counter clockwise rotation. Dulling of the tools cutting edges will occur if not used properly.
•
If a Heli-coil thread repair was already installed in the aluminum engine oil pan then the Heli-coil must be
removed before starting this procedure.
•
If a Time-Sert was already installed then this tool cannot be used to repair the threads. The Time-sert
outside diameter is too large for this tool.

10. Start the boring procedure. Rotate the drill (2)
slowly and apply a little pressure upward into the
oil pan drain plug hole.
Insert the boring bit and begin boring to
approximately 3-4 mm deep (1). Stop when 3-4
mm has been reached.
Remove the boring tool from the hole.
Note: Starting the boring process without the air
supply turned on is less distracting and will allow
you to get the hole centered and squared to the
engine oil pan.
No metal will enter the oil sump if you stop at
approximately 3-4 mm.
11. Turn the air supply on (1).
7
B11 07 18_Procedure

metal chips will exit with the air pressure.
Always wear the recommended safety
equipment.
Optional debris shield in use.
Place the debris shield over the boring bit to shield
any debris away from the drill operator.
A 2nd person may be used for this function so that
the drill operator can continue using two hands on
the drill.
13. Continue boring the hole (1) until the shoulder of
the tool makes contact with the oil pan.
Once the tool stops developing cutting shavings
the modified bore and the chamfer (2) are
complete.

Recommended drill setting:
•
•
•
Low speed or speed 1
Lock the clutch
Clockwise rotation.

B11 07 18_Procedure
June 2018
22. Remove the re-facing tool (1) from the alignment
pin.
Inspect the sealing surface.
The sealing surface should be smooth and clean
to ensure an oil leak will not occur.
Repeat as necessary to achieve smooth results.
Clean and lubricating the cutting teeth on the refacing tool periodically using a pick and shop
towel will achieve the best quality.
Hint: After the first cut, rotating the tool slowly
with light pressure will polish the sealing surface
while removing minimal material to achieve a
superior sealing surface.
23. Turn the alignment pin two turns counter
clockwise. Do not remove it yet.
Use solvent and a shop towel to clean the
threads of the alignment pin before removing it
entirely.
