Right To drill and tap two holes for the oil feed and return into the back of my F4r block. Now i dont think i will be able to do the job properly enough, as one small mistake and the block is Scrap.

Is there anyone on here in the midlands area which can do this or knows of a place which can?

many thanks.

Can't you just take the feed from the oil pressure sender on the front of the f4r block :agree: drilling the back of the block you just want to do what 5teveL has fone on his f7p

post 96 I think the f4r has a similar location use some vaseline or something to catch the metal filings so they don't go into the engine:agree:
