    oil pressure gauge

    I learned something today. Banjo fittings vary wildly in dimension for a given banjo bolt size. So there will be a version 2. Pieces prepped:

    oil pressure gauge

    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...

    oil pressure gauge

    Getting closer to being able to install an oil pressure gauge. Couldn't find a 1/2" 20 UNF banjo bolt but I had a 12 mm x 1.25 banjo bolt and the local hardware store had 1/2" 20 UNF nuts and bolts.

    Oil Pressure - D1

    How are you measuring (determining sufficient) flow? Choking the flow completely will give you the highest pressure but the engine won't be happy.

    What's the cure for fast flashers from corroded sockets under aftermarket bumper?

    I used a Tridon EP26, LED compatible, flasher relay. Had to remove the case and file the edge of the pcb a bit to make it fit but it's been working great for 6 months now.

    Oil Pressure - D1

    If the temperature is not the same, gauge case pressure might skew your data if you're using a mechanical gauge.
