Oil pressure sensor location

[John Dixon]

Does anyone have a diagram of the oil galleries on the VH?Trying to see if the oil pressure sensor location is in the main gallery as it comes off the pump.What I need to figure out is whether it's a suitable place to feed the oil in off the dry sump system. I intially modified the oil filter housing, but it looks like that will foul on the mount by the time its got a -12 fitting on it Other option is the plug on the block just next to the housing, but it's awkward because of the pump its self.Who said this was going to be easy!!

Thanks Wes.It's not shown on there, so hopefully it's just used for that sensor and is what I need.

John, im nearly certain that it does come off the main gallery, but i cannot confirm that, i read in in a post years ago... ill have to check this weekend.

hey wes. is the level of the oil filter(meaning if i relocate, can it be lower than where it is now) there for a reason or can i move it down further and attach it to the frame. seems like every body moves it to somewere other than the underside of the car. thanks

No real reason why not. You could do it with a take off plate and a remote filter head. Bear in mind though you'll want to use high spec aeroquip hose because you really don't want the lines to fail and it costs $$$$
