Oil pressure guage

Post by PrinceMo »

Aside from the stock oil pressure sending unit.

Is there another place i can connect an oil pressure guage.

The stock pressure unit mount had to be welded shut.

If i can stop it deom leaking i will need another place to run an oil pressure guage.

on page 5-24 of the manual there is a picture of a point to hook up an oil pressure gauge for testing. it is on the lower front, right side of the engine, just inside the frame loop.

that would be a no.

If you look closely at the drawing on page 5-27 you will see a plug on the oil gallery, kind of below where the oil sending unit comes out. I believe that is where you would tap in for the oil pressure. There is another plug below and behind the oil filter but I don't know if it is pressure or return.
