oil pressure

thewhitewarrior

so does the oil light use that sensor, and come on when the oil pressure is low?

yep more of a dead engine light than low oil pressure

thewhitewarrior

sorry to e a div on this but can i use that sensor under the alternator for the oil temp and the new adapter on the top of the engine (cylinder 3 bung) for oil pressure, thanks phil.

thewhitewarrior

I've just fitted an oil temp in the 3rd cylinder position, i understand it's the hottest cylinder, so the best place to take the temp form.
The pressure positon is above the oil pump for a good pump pressure reading.

The 3rd cylinder port's a pain to get to, be warned!
