5. OIL SYSTEM MODIFICATIONS
The Novi 1000 supercharger relies on pressurized
engine oil for its lubrication . The following steps
show how to install the oil feed and drain lines .
*** NOTE ***
Do not attempt this step with a hammer and
punch, as you will severely dent the front of the
pan.
A. Mark the front of the engine oil pan 1-1/8"
below the pan rail and between the two pan
rail bolts, directly in the center of the small
“hump” . Drill a pilot hole with a 3/16" drill
bit after smearing the drill bit with heavy
grease to prevent small metal particles from
falling into the pan . (See Fig. 5-a .)
B. Once the hole has been drilled, insert a
straight length of welding rod or heavy wire
(such as a coat hanger) into the hole approxi-
mately three inches to see if it contacts any of
the reciprocating assembly (connecting rod,
crankshaft counterweight) . If it does, turn the
engine over and repeat the process until no
interference is encountered .
C. Next, apply a small amount of anti-seize lubri-
cant to the tip of the punch (see Fig 5-b), and
insert it into the pilot hole . Hit the punch with
an air hammer carefully using small bursts,
until the punch is inserted up to its shoulder .
*** NOTE ***
use extreme caution not to make the hole too big,
or the drain fitting will not fit and the pan will be
ruined.

D. Apply a liberal amount of heavy grease to a
3/8" by 18 NPT tap (not included), and gradu-
ally thread into the hole .
*** NOTE ***
Only run the tap 2/3 of the way in. Otherwise the
fitting will not seal properly.
Clean the threads using a clean rag and an
approved solvent, such as carburetor cleaner .
Apply a small amount of silicone RTV to the
threads of the supplied 3/8" pipe to -8 fitting
and insert into the hole, being careful not to
over-tighten . The hex nut of the fitting should
be clear of the pan, leaving some thread
showing . Install the supercharger drain hose
fitting so that the elbow is oriented toward the
passenger side, away from the harmonic
dampener . (See Fig 5-c .)
