This is a question for those who have done the quad oil pump swap. Now is it okay to simply ignore the circled blue drilled hole below and just drill the one with the arrow pointing? As a shortcut. Because if the angel can be precise than one can bypass the first drill hole correct? Or is it also for something else? Because it winds up geting plug anywayz. Please help fellow quads
GMR has got nothing on this
no because your drilling the side angled one to hit into the stock oil passage, then drilling the upper hole down into the bore you just made. you do this so it connects the stock oil passage to the new oil feed oil on top. then you simply plug it shut. you must do it the way because you cannot drill down then over.
basically, in a nut shell, its a connecting passage.

Yes and no.
If you aren't going to drill the blue hole, you have to drill the red one at an angle directly to the oil passage and sleeve the hole. That's what I did.

^thats what im saying, so if the top hole can be drilled at a angle than the blue one rendors worthless, correct? So you did do it this way, without the blue circled hole?

Correct.
When I looked at everything, I didn't see any conceivable way to drill into the oil passage without inevitably breaking out of the casting. So I took the more direct approach.

has it been running smoothly? The machine shop guy and I were comparing it to a actual Quad block pre95 without the balance shafts and notice the angle, so in general the first hole is only just a free hand or a guide right. So it can be done without it

I believe so. And yes the car runs smoothly
