What happens here

Secure the crossover pipe in a vise. Attach the correct-sized hole saw (specifically designed for metal) to a drill. Apply lubrication to the hole saw and the cutting area on the pipe to prevent the aluminum from galling and to ensure a smoother cut. Carefully drill through the pipe to create the opening for the BOV flange. If the hole saw tends to 'walk', the resulting hole might be slightly larger than the saw's specified diameter.

Goal: Create a precise hole in the crossover pipe for the BOV flange.

more of the story but we just kind of like you know put it on here either from the top because i've noticed with these hole saws it might say for example this one's one and three quarter that's how big it is but they always kind of walk a little bit and the hole ends up being a little bit bigger than that so always err on the small side of the hole you're trying to make before you whip out the oil hold those are here and you definitely want to find some lube otherwise it'll gall up and kill these teeth really quickly and you'll just be really really annoyed okay next step charge the battery and then we will go clean up this hole got the hole cut now
