Oil pressure, temp

[Twan]

Was just think, if I drilled and taped the side of the oil filter housing, would that show the correct oil pressure and temps?
It would keep a clean look that way.

Mmmm. I guess you would. But not sure if that temp will match the temp were the EOT is at. Not sure.

Bump.

Bump, would drilling the side of the housing show correct oil pressure?

I would say no. Its running off the low oil pressure pump and that's the furthest point away from the pump. Its got to drop a bit I believe. If I'm wrong sorry.

Why not just install one of the billet oil filter caps already drilled and tapped for such a gauge?

:whs: or use the test port on the oil cooler.

kinda hard to get to but this is out of the way

Thanks for the picture.

Good point on the test port. That's accurate psi.

I have a oil filter cap and fuel filter cap that I drilled and tapped so I could put a gauges on, its the easiest way to test the pressure. You'll get the pressure IDK about oil temp.

Were you looking for low/high oil psi? Should have been first question of mine.

Low pressure.

 

[jdeeg4276]

I would think that it would be close.
