Oil pressure gauge
« on: March 03, 2010, 07:37:57 pm »
Just been looking at this today as it has turned up. Read the instructions and seems all straight forward except what part of the engine do i mount the nylon tubing from the gauge?

Cheers

usually connect the pressure gauge up to a t-piece that you fit into the oil pressure sensor hole in the head (the one that doesnt already have a t-piece in it for the charger oil supply).

No it was just the gauge, few bits for pipe and nylon piping.

So i have to get a t-piece of some sort and put it into where the oil pressure sender goes.

Just wondering has anyone done this before?

Was it a mechanical oil pressure gauge? I never got one with mine.
