Default Possible oil feed from B16a head?

I've been thinking about trying to use this plug as an oil feed line. (Pic stolen from Endyn site)

The only thing i'm worried about is if it would cause too much of a pressure drop, and interfere with vtec operation. It seems like a good idea; less line to run, and no more t-ing into the oil pressure sensor.

That plug only has about 7psi until vtec kicks on. DON'T use it for an oil feed. If it was that easy i'm sure everyone would do it!

Yeah, i forgot about the fact that it would have no pressure until the solenoid opened. I thought it was too conveniant. Thats why i posted

Thanks

Now the vtec oil pressure sensor location, now that would work...

Yep, there was a big debate about this last year. Can't find the post now If for some reason you against the stock oil pressure switch location, you can use the plug underneath the distributor. It receives the same system pressure.

I have no problem with the oil pressure location, but it would be nice to have a short direct line instead.
