be careful with using adapters. with the vibration and weight of the sensor it is possible for them to crack and break. The oil sandwich adapters give you a little better mounting choice.

I ended up waiting on the oil gauge until I installed a remote filter and oil cooler. Hell of an expensive "adapter" to use, but it got the job done.

Yeah i've heard about that with Aluminum blocks.But I dont think it should be a problem, unless the brass softens from the heat.Nismo sells it so it shouldn't be that bad.What the honda guys do is buy a steel braided line with npt fittings on each end and then mount the Tee on the fire wall, well in a longitudinal case strut tower.

Thats a thought
