Quick question.

The 50 ft pounds is with ARP lube on the threads.
Who told you or where did you read that the spot in question is a dry sump return? It's not,for one thing it's not nearly large enough and how would you return oil to a pressurized gallery? I'd throw that book away.

it's not a dry sump return but it is the place for a sender/gauge.

Its under HP Sportsman, I read it wrong though. It says its an oil "feed". I thought I had it in the right place but my dad kept pushing the issue about it being in the front (like the windsors and all). Thanks for the help guys, I'll finish the others tomorrow, then the oil pump will go on. That's about all I can do unless I put the cam and chain on.
