Anyone ever drill the holes in a 22R block for a turbo. I have a stock turbo truck but i have a scuff in my 3 cylinder wall that I believe would break the piston ring off it I put it back together. But my brother in law has a block I can have to drill the oil return line, etc. in to replace my turbo 22R block. Anyone else ever attempt this?

i think it'd be possible, but maybe not the greatest idea? i'd like to think you could drill the valve cover or the top of the oil pan for a return line?

as in: "why" don't you just "sleve" the #3 cylinder & save yourself alot of time & imponderabilities & just stick w/what has been working w/the current setup???

Yea, I've heard about the sleeves just recently are they affective? And I also called LC engineering and instead of drilling a hole in the block they drill through the oil pan. A local trusted machine shop says they can drill the holes needed to convert the block.

oil pan would be the safest way to do it -- no risk at all of cracking the block.
