I'm just curious, does anyone know if the oil pressure port where the oil pressure sensor goes is able to be adjusted at all? I put new oil filter adapter seals and a new oil pressure sensor on and the oil pressure sensor touches the oil dipstick tube. The cylindrical port is the one in question.

 

It can be set a little counter clockwise from where it currently is. I had the same issue. My engine was out tho. Just pull it and clean all the threads then re install with a little sealer.

 

Agreed.. It doesn't have to be cranked down super tight just re-clock it when you reinstall it.. No leaks and you're good to go...

 

Also agree.
I just assume that is pipe thread too like the sensor so...
Hell knowing me I would give it a twist and see what happens.
If it leaks then take it out and put on some new thread sealant.
Am curious about one thing on the sealant.
I plumbed in some fittings so I could run a tester and the sensor at the same time.
I used this:

I always wondered if I was right or wrong in using that.

I tested my pressure before capping off the port and using that sealant.

My thinking is if I ever want to check it again with a tester for the life of me won't be able to get that cap off.
LOL.

 

yes you can angle or extend in any direction with the proper combination of 1/8 pipe couplings and tubes. I have mine mostly set up like Ralph77 with a mechanical gauge permanently installed with the stock sender also.

 

I had time tonight to take the cylindrical port off. Cleaned off the threads and cleaned the whole thing up a bit. Applied some high temp thread sealer and threaded it back in. I was able to re-clock it to a better spot and now there's plenty of room for the sensor. Hopefully I got it tight enough. I'm letting the thread sealer sit awhile on it tonight and I'll start it up tomorrow and check for leaks.

 

Your only issue now is not to snap it off when removing the oil filter...it appears very close in the picture

 

I was afraid of bumping mine when it got extended with those fitting I plumbed in.
But a little care and me using an oil filter cap makes it pretty much not an issue.

 

True. I'm not overly concerned about that scenario though. I loosen the oil filter from underneath with a cap and ratchet. It's pretty controlled.

 

Don't know if im so keen on loosening the filter from the bottom...But I just took some pictures of mine, it appears much closer in the pictures than it actually is. Over the years and on different engines I have used many combinations of 45's and straights to get whatever configuration produced the desired results. I also keep a 1/8 plug and teflon in case the sensor ever self destructs
