I have heard of people doing that, but I prefer not to.
To remove the tailshaft to drill, tap and thoroughly flush and blow out and ensures you don't end up with chips in there.
I have seen the damage caused by this in the past, not pretty.

I thought somewhere in this thread you mentioned the drill and tap size and now I can't find it?
EDIT: Never-mind, I found it on the site just where I saw it...lol
"With this air vent the hole in the top cover is no longer needed and can be blocked to stop oil from leaking out of it constantly. Use a letter R drill bit and 1/8” pipe thread tap to install the vent on the top of the tailhousing. "

A letter R or a 21/64 drill bit with a 1/8" NPT
Should get it done.

Got it yesterday and I will be attempting it this afternoon. Cool looking little vent!

I build my road race toploaders like that. 1/8" npt to AN adapter, and run a hose up a little higher than the trans.
Look about halfway down the page in this article and you'll see one that I did.

I see you put it exactly where I was going to put it. I was a little concerned about the parting line in the case, but I guess it does not matter.
Awesome article too, I read it twice.
Thanks
