It's an easy check... Get a piece of metal or something else to drill into. Drill a 7/16" hole and tap it with 1/2"NPT and see if the push lock thing goes into the 1/2" instead of 1/4". If it does, that's a typo and you'll know to use 1/2".
Feels good when there's a typo in their instructions for the s/c kit huh? I wonder if anyone else that got one of the first kits screwed up at that part at first.

BTW this oil pan is a bitch and a half to get off.

That's sucks, I'd hope for the price of the kit full and GOOD instructions would be included with lots of pictures...
Oh and the oil pan is super easy to get off when the engine is out of the car

Yeah but the engine's in the car, and also the water pump is on, so the drilling the block part of the installation is nearly impossible. I'm thinking I'll have to find about a 2" long 7/16" drill bit and attatch it to a rotary tool that has a flex shaft. wow.
RX7FROMCAL had his kit put on by his rotary mechanic and it took his mechanic 5 days to get the kit on. Fan-tastic!

I may be a newbie but this is no easy ordeal. If you've already removed your emissions stuff, and your car's engine is absolutely flawless, then I'd say it's maybe about 20 hours of labor. I'm going to take the rest of this week and maybe a little bit of next to finish up, mainly because I'm taking my time.
