does anyone have a picture and/or the size of the fitting needed to T-off the oil pressure sender? what size/parts/fittings are needed?? thanks, let me know!! (for a d16z6)

 

The search buttons your friend, it has been discussed here alot and some threads have full diagrams including sizes and locations. To anwer the question it is a 1/8th npt.

 

actually 1/8" BSPT..close enough max..

ok did a search, but i'm still confused a little,

you need a 1/8 bspt male, and then a T connector?? anyone have any pictures?

 

 

or u can always just tap ur block for 1/8 bspt, then you'll be set forever

 

ok thanks for the replies, so let me get this straight

the T should have: 1 male 1/8th bspt(to block), 1/8th female bspt for oil pressure sender, and 1 male 1/8th bspt for the oil send line? or can the oil pressure and oil send line connectors be npt?

 

whatyd yah guys use too get off that fitting??? my cresent wrench wont really fit..needa buy a 24mm open end i guess

 

nobody makes a Tee with BSPT in it, trust me, I already look through all over egypt for it..
you have to use a BSPT to NPT adapter, then the tee...

15/16 open deeps socket.
i know the size sounds off , but nothing metric fit.

 

ok,, do you need a bspt adapter for the oil sender and oil feel line too? or can they just screw into a npt?

you can screw the NPT in there, but it's better to get the adapter, to reduce the chance of cracking under torque and leakage...

ok, so 24mm or 15/16 fits the oil pressure sender i fit my 15/16 socket over it yesterday...and tonight i took it off with my 24mm open end wrench now i just need 1 adapter and i can install this

 

I have an adapter, IM me

Damn Stan, i just bought another one of those, **** was like $9 from Autometer. If i known you had them, i would have got it from you..

 

I dont know......Ive used 1/8th npt male to male to the block to a female tee, a 1/8 male to -3 flare for the oil feed line from the tee and screw the oil pressure sender into the tee, for the past 10 years and never had a problem of cracking or leakage. Sold probally 40 kits with the same fittings over that 10 years so if you know something I may not please inform me.

well, I have never experienced that problem personally, but I have known a few instances where the torque movement vibration has a too much impact and causes a leaks. but I was running straight NPT to the block for years and it held up fine...

like I stated, you can screw in the NPT in there, and it'll be fine...with BSPT, it's just nicer that the whole thread goes in ALL THE WAY in the block.

how come whenevrr i ask for bspt here they look at me like i am talking about something alien???none of the automotive guys know what bspt is, nor do they carry it..only npt
