is this how I would do it?

[turbot304]

I never installed an oil presser gauge before and can only think that this is where I would get it reading from on the motor............would this be wright way?

[krayton]

pretty much.

if u wanna keep that stock one in there, u can get a T adapter so you can put both.

[Yellow4g63]

make sure it's a steel T adapter and not brass.

[Sil240]

Why???

Whats worng with brass?

make sure it's a steel T adapter and not brass.

it's all good till 1 week later you start to get a oil leak, then before you know it you losing all your oil and your on the road. The smell of hot oil hitting your even hotter exhaust gets into your car. Then you have to go under the car and use a easy out to get the thread thats stuck into the block because thats where your brass fitting broke did that once without even thinking.

i must say, you have the most amazing spelling EVAR!

[DJButton]

^Heh lol who wants to know oil pressure anyway right?

[Carl H]

if i were you i would go with the tuner toys steel adaptor, 20$ and it has provisions for the std oil pressure sensor so you dont loose your idiot light and has 2 1/8" npt ports for gauges or oil lines...

This thing right here:

This might physically be better for clearance, because the stock Oil Pressure sender is kinda big.

I have heard of this being an issue in the past, but was always curious why the brass fittings would break. They seem stout enough. How heavy is the oil pressure sender?

[matafied]

is anyone using a oil filter sandwich adapter just curious

[Carl H]

its not that it isnt 'strong' enough but rather it cannot withstand vibrations from the motor and with weight on the end it can snap quite easily.the tuner toys bit works quite well, i have one on mine.

[turbot304]

naw, no adapter , but i am using a fram PH3682 oil filter

[turbot304]

lol ya I just notice that after finally getting some sleep after being up for like 27 hours > it's the love for HP

As am I. Also, how difficult is it to change the oil filter when the motor is installed? I have been wondering about that for a while. Reason: I'm looking at using a sandwich adapter + remote filter (set in the corner next to the wiper motor).

I think its the most easiest oil filter accessible weather its stock mani or greddy , i can just reach down and take it off from the top

[002-M-P]

I personally will never put any product on my car made by Fram...nor recommend to anyone else.

[turbot304]

Hey thanks man, I did .

[l0nestar]

Wow, easy there boys... no need to get into a flame war...

[l0nestar]

turbot304t,

Thanks for the info man!

[002-M-P]

lol, no flaming here...just fuming from remembering a very bad experience when I had a Fram filter's insides break loose. Afterwards I search about fram filters and found out they used to be good quality but now they are among the worst.

[l0nestar]

It's all good man!

[Carl H]

the only proper way to install a fram filter is in the garbage.
