Default where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics

ok so i know you put the oil feed line on the pressure sender, but there is no way i can get that ---- out.
i can't get to it, there is all kinds of stuff in the way.
i think i would have to take the head off to reach it.
any other ideas of where to put this thing.

you cant get to it from underneath the car? you could also do an oil filter sandwich if you had to

ok so i got the sender off, but the reason i couldn't get it off will not allow my tee to fit.
the zc has some kind of oil cooler on it, plus the black box pcv thing.
i've decided to go to a place tomorrow and get an extender so the tee is a few inches further from the block.

does the obd1 dohc zc have an oil cooler where the filter goes? and the black pcv box?
cause there is no way in hell it'll fit without an extension. i'll take a pic after i get the extension and everything in.

if it wont fit without an extension (which i disagree with) you should run a hose from the sender to your firewall, and put the T there. If you have a long erection sticking out of the back of your block its gonna rattle itself out and take your threads with it

I would agree. I have seen these break off at the block as well. I can't imagine it would be all to easy to dig the threaded portion out of the block.

it's cool that you disagree, but if you want to come over and look at it you can.
so you say i need to run a line to my firewall and put the tee there.

here are some pics of what is in the way. you can see the coolant line coming out to the left of the pressure sender hole. that is a hard line and will not move for a tee to fit. on the other side is the black box with hoses coming out of it. below is the oil cooler that came on the dohc zc. all i need is about 2 inches of extension for the tee to clear all that ----.
so you guys say no extension, and just go with a firewall mount.

why does it look like to me that you have lots of room? Maybe your not used to putting big things in little places :1
