Just finished putting a B18A1 in a DA, whenever I go to crank it the motor takes a few seconds and whenever it cranks oil will shoot staright up in the air.. I checked to see where it was coming from it seems to be some valve beside the oil filter on the driver side, anybody know what this is?

 

Heres a pic, its the thing that looks like a nut beside the oil filter

 

That looks like the connector you use to attach the line to an oil pressure gauge. Needs capping methinks.

Don't quote me.

 

I dont know what it is but it was squirting bad. I tightened it and it seems to have stopped still no idea what it is though.

 

Oil pressure switch. Get a new one and use a little Teflon tape.
