Sorry, I should have been more clear.  Like Larry mentioned, I'm fitting a msm 
turbo on a '99 and want to use the stock msm hard lines.  Since these ports are 
only present on the NA and MSM engines, I'll need to drill and tap.  
I'll be doing 'my' coolant reroute as well (http://miata.devocht.com).  On my 
old setup (FM2), the results were pretty spectaculair (from 94°C to 88°C while 
cruising and much lower temps on track - don't remember the exact numbers 
though)

Several of us have done coolant reroutes (among other crazy things). Tell us 
what you are doing and maybe we can give you some ideas other than drilling the 
block.

  I've been thinking about drilling a '99 engine for water (like the older NA 
engines, next to the dipstick).
  Would it be a problem should any of the shavings get into the block (most 
likely they will)?
  Will I be able to get them flushed out without tearing down the engine?

  I won't drill for oil though, just water
