most of the guides call for 1/2"x14npt, but it just so happens that my tap and die kit has a 1/2"x13npt tap. I am guessing that 14npt in this case means 14 threads per inch? If so, and taking into account that the oil pan is so thin there will only be a couple of threads, would I get away with the 13 npt tap and it would just be a little more snug of a fit?

1/2-13 is NC (national Coarse) not NPT....it might not work....just test it on scrap metal first.

if you need the proper 1/2NPT let me know.

thanks guys - I am in sterling, va. (nova)
I am always up for ordering from harbor freight, since invariably more tools tag along for the ride. But I might check the hardware store first just to see what they want for the tap since I don't need the other stuff in the kit. Anyone know a good place to find the bit?

Oh and braineack, thanks for the tips on oil lines. I am ordering:

We'll probably be out early to avoid the heat, and work for a few hours.

By the time you come over my head will be removed....so it won't be very pleasant to look at :gay:
