how is my oil feed?

well i put this piece together at the hardware store. some people on h-t are telling me that i shouldn't use it and that there is a 100% chance it will "bust off"... i see you guys use setups like this all the time. installed it is very sturdy to the point were i can lift the block up (its out of the car) by the fitting.

feedback?

Looks nice and beefy. It's possible it could break off because of how long it is, but after you said you can pick up the engine by it I seriously doubt that's going to happen.

that fitting looks like npt if its from a hardware, you should be using bsp, also you will need a restrictor using that large of a fitting... but its your car. You should just get the right stuff from tunertoys or stealthmode and never have to question it again.

Re: how is my oil feed?

npt= national pipe threaded, bsp= british pipe threaded. Think of it as standard and metric. You WON'T be able to screw that into your existing oil pressure sensor hole without cross threading like a ****. You need something that will be like:

(stock oil pressure sensor)--->NPT----pipe----BSP----->(block)

Your block accepts a BSP fitting. Don't try to shove an NPT fitting up in dat azz, beeatch
