Hey I need the thread size for the fitting on the back of the block on a B18B

Thanks

 

1/8" BST is pretty standard on Hondas.

Anyone else know for sure?

Randy

 

yep thats right, i know this because i just got my oil line kit the other day

 

And what I want to know is why the hell... no... why the **** did Honda make EVERYTHING else on the car metric and easy to work on, but decided for some goddamn reason to use BSP thread on just the oil pressure sender. I could understand if the cars were made in Britan, but for chrissakes, WTF, ya know? Even though NPT is close enough, it still aggrivates me to no end.

Simple,

Because the industry standard, low-cost oil sender was BST so Honda saved money on not re-inventing the wheel and used the industry standard.

At the time Bosch was ruling the field and that was the winner.

its 1/8BPST you can get a male 1/8BSPT to 1/8ThNPT femal adapeter from autometer at Summitracingonline. Autometer part number 2269

 

You can get stainless steel ones for $5.something cents at mcmaster.com
Those damn limeys have so many different standards for everything.

 

would any stores/shops have them so i wont have to order them?

 

Yeah, but try finding that part here in Vermont... Most places hadn't even heard of BSP.

 

uh why wouldnt you just order it online and get it at your door in 3 days?

 

Go to Autozone, Adavance Auto, or most other large chains, and get the Sunpro Metric Gauge fitting thing. It's about 5 dollars, and comes with 5 fittings, one of which is a 1/8npt to 1/8th bspt. I got one and it's working fine

 

thanks to speed phreak who posted this in another thread!!

OK I got a barb fitting today at lowes and it says the thread size is 1/8", no BPT or NPT or anything like that, should be OK, right?

 

Nope. That's NPT. You don't want to stick that in your block.

You can also get the adapter at Autozone. It comes in a guage adapter kit with a few other metric adapters. It's made by Sunco or something like that. It's about $5 for the whole kit. Just throw out or save the ones you don't need.

 

Thanx for the props dude, I've actually got all the part numbers# if you want to order the stuff to put that contraption together. Most of the time I order nick-knacks like that from --http://www.pegasusautoracing.com . Just some help for all you internet lazy asses, like me
