How bad did i just screw up?
Just tapped my DE for turbo, and this is my first time doing this. I drilled too low and drilled part of the oil pan mating surface. What should i do? I thought i was drilling in the right spot but i guess the angle was wrong.

I've got a block for sale...... just kidding! It will be ok. I did the same thing a couple of years ago, and it didn't leak. I think you should continue as is.

That'll be fine, I've shot a bit low a few times myself. Not as low as you have, but don't sweat it.

I was REAL careful when doing mine,



Just took my time, Blairellis did warn me of this ahead of time though lol.

Nothing to worry about. You still have plenty of pan sealing surface there. No biggie.
