i dunno about having to hondabond. if your concerned the new o rings are 4 bucks each from golden eagle.


be carefull threading things into the pressure sensor hole on the block. 12 ftlbs i think and no more. ive broken a few in my day and my block had to be welded shut there

i have the GE adapter, i have 2 lines running out, 1 for additional oil to the cylinder head and the other going to the turbo, i installed all fitings with liquid thread sealant they were COMPLETLY clean and dry when installed, my **** dont leak a drop....

Vibration can also take its toll on cheap brass fitting being pressured by the oil lines etc, i wouldnt do it that way...

the T fitting from the sensor hole isnt the best idea. a friend of mine broke his fitting b/c of the weight and vibration hanging off the end. i would definitely go with an oil sandwich adapter.
