I'd like to run a oil feed like from behind the oil filter housing. There is an M18 allen bolt there that can be removed. There is also a port on the front of the timing cover but I do not want to run it from there.
Has anyone run is from where I plan to? How did you do it? Does anyone know what the torque spec is on that m18 bolt?
I'm planning on running a banjo fitting to a line, eventually to a Tee fitting which will have an oil pressure sender and oil pressure switch.
See photo of the m18 port I'm talking about circled in blue.
I tapped into the housing itself and then put in a dummy light hidden behind the driver AC vent. Trips after oil pressure falls below 10 psi. these engine tend to run low idle and very high in the revs.
