Test fit on my parts engine. I think it'll work. The allen head machine screw holding the colant pipe bracket is the next battle. Several options. Make a new reducing bushing with less of the bolt head retained thereby reducing A. Swap the machine screw with a phillips pan head or similar with a lower profile (B). Reduce the banjo bolt hex dimensions C. Or a combination of all three. Alternatively I could find some other way to secure the coolant pipe.following this
that's about where I got stuck
That's a really good way to do it. I install oil fed intermediate shaft covers on 911s and you get your oil pressure from a similar set up, an oil filter adapter with a port on it.Here is a video, #1 of 2, that show how to install an oil pressure gauge on a Discovery 4.0L.
This is bar far the easiest method, I've just had bad experiences with glow shift oil filter adapters leaking and a lot of my friends have had similar issues so I wanted to try a different way.Here is a video, #1 of 2, that show how to install an oil pressure gauge on a Discovery 4.0L.
I used a similar sandwich adapter (from Moroso) on a previous truck and it provided many years of trouble free service. I did worry about it though, considering it a large potential point of failure, and checked it often. It was also thick (about 1 1/2" if I remember right) and moves the filter that much further into harms way. I'll try something else this time around but there's no question the sandwich adapter is the simplest solution.Here is a video, #1 of 2, that show how to install an oil pressure gauge on a Discovery 4.0L.
