Oil Sending Unit Threads/block BROKE!! THANK GOD FOR GOLDEN EAGLE OIL PLATE
Well while the motor was out I was going to take off the vtec oil line that was t'd in between the block and the oil sending unit and install the Golden Eagle Vtec oil plate. I unthreaded the fittings from the block, and proceed'd to thread in the oil sending unit and then it all started.
As I got it halfway in I noticed the crack going across the top of the webbing that the threads are in. So I start'd carefully threading it out, and then it happen. BAM the top of the threads broke clean off. damn. So then I though for a sec, WTF can I do? Then I tried threading in the unit into the optional feed port in the GE vtec plate and it was a PERFECT FIT!!!.
That left the plug for that port for me to use to plug up what was left of the threads in the block. But as I thread'd it in the bottom threads broke off!!
But there were just enough left for the plug to thread in nice and snug. So in about 10 minutes I went from HOLY **** this sucks, to DAMN I'm glad I got this .
To Golden Eagle
To Lightning Motorsports cause I order'd it from them.
This was my crvtec motor with Golden Eagle sleeves.
PICS:
OLD vtec head oil fittings and the upper and lower broken off peices
The allen plug in the block where oil sending unit was
The oil sending unit now located in the GE oil block.
