How to Drill a Hole in an Engine Block

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Doug, I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Now we're going to do the deed. He's using a good quality air drill just because they are light and convenient. But you want to make sure that you don't over rev the drill. If your not making shavings your not cutting it and it's ruining the drill bit. You can see right there that Wayne is holding that little air nozzle and blowing it in there constantly so that any metal shavings are getting blown out as he makes them. He's blowing them away from the motor there. And he's drilling a hole that he'll go ahead and tap out later and put threads in it. So he's chosen the drill bit based on which tap size he needs to hold that oil pump pickup in place."
